I’ve made this recipe probably at least 30 times. It’s the best. Sometimes we make it just to FoodSaver and to use in recipes. Always a hit! -

Easy and very enjoyable meal. Thanks! -
EXCELLENT recipe ~ I highly recommend this to anyone, you will not be disappointed. I do not use the pineapple or apple slices. -
Very good!! I used a 4 lb. ham, so I just halved the ingredients. We don't like pineapple with our ham....so I left that out. Actually we are not big ham fans either. We get one every year as a gift for Christmas...and I needed to cook it. Your recipe makes me like ham! LOL
