Easter Sliced Ham Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  2. I cut my ham in half lengthwise. This will depend on the shape of your ham. I wanted one pineapple slice to fit on each slice of ham. I then cut each half into ¼” thick slices. You can cut the slices to your preferred thickness.
  3. Pour the chicken broth into the bottom of a medium sized casserole dish (you want the ham to fit together tightly in your dish).
  4. Start with layering one slice of ham (standing the ham upright), then a pineapple slice with a cherry in the middle of the pineapple slice. Keep shingling the ham, pineapple slice with a cherry until you’ve used all the ham. You will have leftover pineapple slices and cherries.
  5. Now, glaze the top of your ham with the apricot glaze. It will drip in between each ham slice. This is so delicious.
  6. Wrap the casserole dish with aluminum foil to keep the ham moist. This will create a steam and keep your ham perfectly moist and delicious!
  7. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes per pound of ham. Halfway through the cooking time, I would glaze the ham by spooning the juices in the bottom of the casserole dish over the ham. Cover again and finishing heating the ham.
  8. When heated through, switch the oven to broil. Take the foil off the ham and broil for 3-5 minutes until there is a light char on top. It’s now ready to serve and enjoy!
  9. Note: This is such a simple recipe but it’s a very pretty presentation and it’s delicious!
  10. Another note: You can freeze the leftover pineapple slices for another use or add them to a smoothie. The leftover cherries are fun added to a dessert, cocktail or mocktail.
