Ham and Pineapple Dinner is a sweet and savory classic that pairs juicy, tender slices of ham with the tropical tang of pineapple. The ham is often baked or pan-seared, then topped or glazed with a mixture of pineapple juice, brown sugar, and spices, allowing the flavors to caramelize beautifully. Served with pineapple rings or chunks, this dish offers a perfect balance of salty richness and fruity brightness. It’s a comforting yet vibrant meal, ideal for holiday tables, Sunday dinners, or any occasion where you want a hearty main course with a touch of sweetness.
