So moist and juicy when it comes out of the oven! We used about twice the liquid called for, as our first attempt left us with a burned ham. :( Our roasting pan is rather large, so we increased the liquid on our second attempt and the result was amazing - even my picky 5 year old ate every last bite and is looking forward to leftovers! Thanks for the great recipe, this is our new favorite way to cook ham!

This is not the most delcious ham I have ever made. It was good but not worth the effort. I had to take it off heat 3 hours into the cooking process because it was black and smoking - even after tenting it. Once I removed the charred outer layer the ham was ok. Not moist but not really dry either. The cleanup is difficult - it will be days before I can get all the baked on sugar cleaned from my roaster. I will not be making this ham again.

Simply amazing ham! To make it healthier, I replace the unsweetened pineapple juice with pineapple chunks pureed in a blender until it liquifies. This eliminates a lot of sugar and preservatives from the canned juice. I also cut down on the amount of brown sugar and replace some of it with apple sauce which has natural sweetening ability. I make my own sangria; that way I can control the ingredients in the sangria by adding or taking out anything I want. I also added some minced Vidalia onion to the brown sugar and it was excellent.

This was my first ever attempt at making a ham and my family LOVED this!! I didn't have sangria, so I just used a red wine we had left over from the night before. Turned out fabulously, just as written. My only note: My ham instructions said to cook at 325 and I'm glad I did. 400 would have certainly dried it out.

Great on the 1st day, even better for leftovers. It remained soooo juicy and flavorful for next day, I think more ppl have 2nd and 3rd that day.

We smoked a 13 pound ham using this basting. I didn't use as much brown sugar as the recipe calls for, I really wonder how you are supposed to get a whole pound of sugar to stick to a ham, I just pressed on the best I could. I added the juice of a fresh orange to the Sangria and pineapple. This was a very nice change from the super sweet coating of the normal honey glaze. The ham was moist and juicy. We had lots of wine left and didn't need the full 2 cups for smoking a ham.

I made this and thought it was wonderful, but I turned the heat down to 325 degrees after the first 2 hours, and then down to 250 for the last hour and the temperature was right on. I kept the lid on the roaster after the first 20 minutes, and I used cab/shiraz wine. I also allowed it to rest for 1/2 hour before we ate.
