Glazed Ham with Pineapple Mustard SauceRoland Bello

Remember those baked hams gussied up with pineapple rings and maraschino cherries? There's a reason they became so popular in the '50s — pineapple contributes sweetness and a little acid to salty ham. But here, with pineapple juice concentrated into a syrup and combined with thyme and Dijon mustard, the effect is homey, more subtle, and less overtly sweet.

Cooks' notes:

·Pineapple mustard mixture, without thyme, can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
·Ham can be trimmed of skin and fat 8 hours ahead and chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.
