Garlic and Pineapple Glazed Ham #NationalGarlicDay

This ham is crusted with crushed pineapple, garlic and honey before being baked for a unique and different Island Style dinner.

I served this up last November for an Island Style Friendsgiving Dinner with our Dive Family. I got so caught up in the festivities that I forgot to take photos until after dinner.  You can see, by the large dent in the ham, that it was a big hit......

I entertain a lot during the months of November and December and don't always have time to share all the recipes that I create and serve during the holiday season.  So they go into an archive until I can get to them.

When my friend Jolene, of Jolene's Recipe Journal, invited the Festive Foodies to celebrate National Garlic Day with her, I knew that this ham was perfect for the event.

Let's take a look at what the others are sharing for this National Food Holiday........

We are garlic lovers in this house.  My motto is there is no such thing as too much garlic so National Garlic Day is recognized each year.  You may enjoy some of these recipes I have shared.  Lebanese Garlic Sauce, Garlic Pull Apart Rolls, 40 Cloves of Garlic Chicken, or Homemade Creamy Garlic Salad Dressing.

This ham could be glazed and cooked on a gas grill outdoors for a Summertime Island Style gathering as well.  I, for one, am very anxious for summer to arrive.
