Honey-Garlic Ham

Instructions

1. For the brine, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, pepper, and salt and stir until the sugar dissolves. Submerge the ham in the brine in a bag or bowl and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat the oven to 320F. Line a sheet pan with foil, set a wire rack on top, remove the ham from the brine, cover tightly with foil, and bake 40 minutes. Remove the foil, increase the heat to 400F, and bake until the surface is lightly caramelized, about 15 minutes more.
3. For the glaze, melt 1 stick of butter in a skillet over low heat. Add the garlic and cook gently until fragrant but not browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the honey, soy sauce, gochugaru, paprika, and salt, then turn off the heat and add the remaining stick of cold butter in slices, stirring until melted and glossy.
4. When the ham is done, generously brush or pour the honey-garlic glaze over the whole ham. Slice and serve.
