I really wanted to make something a little different to go with this New Year’s honey baked ham. I could’ve taken the easy way out and offer up mustard but what fun is that? So I decided to make this Pineapple Sauce for Ham.
Not only does this pineapple sauce go great with baked ham, but it's also so easy to make. I have literally made it an hour before heading over to my mother-in-law’s for dinner.
You most likely already have all the ingredients in your pantry except possibly the cans of crushed pineapples. If you have cans of sliced pineapples you can chop them up or even pulse them in your food processor.

I made this pineapple sauce today for a company that was coming for supper. It is so easy to make. The only change I did was I did not have the Dijon mustard so I use regular mustard. There seem to be no difference. Everyone just loved it. I will truly make it again. Hats off to hotrodsrecipes for this very delicious recipe.
I made it with just pineapple juice since I had no crushed pineapple and it came out fantastic
