Usually every T-giving we have ham left over till we're sick of it and throw it out. Not this yr.!!! This ham turned out very tender and tasted WONDERFUL! Don't let the beer in the recepe fool ya, you'll never taste it. Try it, you'll be cooking it yr. after yr.; I knoe I will.

This was very very tasty. However I dont think that it takes as long to cook as the time calls for. I had to actually take it out early.

I always heard that meats are more tender cooked in beer, but I never thought about using it for ham. Our ham was so tender and just fell apart! Great, easy recipe!

This was a good recipe but I couldn't taste the beer or the sweetness from the pineapple. I used a 6.5lb ham and left it in the oven for almost 3 hours. Way too long, the internal temperature was a lot higher than what it should be, which resulted in the ham being a bit dry. Next time I will baste it every 30 minutes and use a meat thermometer so I can take it out when it's at 160-170 degrees.

This made the most flavorful ham I've ever had. I used the suggestion of a honey/brown sugar glaze and carmelized it at the end. The ham was so tender it just fell apart. My family wants me to make it again :)

Quite tasty, though if I make it again, I will use a premium beer. I added some brown sugar to the top of the ham near the end of its baking time and I'm glad I did. Also basted about every 1/2 hour. Carrots and potatoes baked with the ham turned out good. My husband had seconds and said it was "great". Leftovers tasted good and were good in casseroles.

I made this w/ a spiral ham, and it was DELICIOUS! I've never had such a tender, juicy ham. I used Alaskan Smoked Porter, which was a perfect compliment. I also used a glaze (I wasn't completely convinced that just the beer & pineapple give enough flavor) of 1 cup honey, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup of pineapple juice, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves. I brushed on the mixture every 15-20 minutes, and removed the cover at the end to carmelize the glaze. The drippings even made a delicious gravy! Everyone loved it... from now on, I will always cook my ham in beer.

Excellent!! I was a little reluctant to put pineapples, and being the doe-doe that I am, I bought crushed pinapple instead of sliced, but I'm glad I did, they worked out just as well because I basted every so often. I used Sam Adams Summer Ale (yum) put it on the grill and it came out great. Family loved it, thanks Lisa!

I cooked this ham for twelve people for a christmas/engagement dinner. I had never had such a reaction to one of my meals...RAVE REVIEWS! I made a ten lb. ham with three cans of micro beer and added potatoes, celery, and onions to cook (and serve on the side) in the beer/ pineapple juice. I am going to make this recipe every time i make a ham! MUST TRY!

I prepared this Ham for a holiday potluck and got huge raves from all our guests. They were amazed when I told them it was cooked with beer. The meat was tender, falling off the bone, and very tasty. I plan to prepare this Ham for my family this Christmas.

This ham was absolutely scruptious! I work in an assisted living facility, and prepared this ham for our annual holiday potluck. EVERYONE raved about it, and many are still asking me for the recipe. This makes a very tender, tasty ham. I will never make a ham without beer again!
