It is my favorite time of year! Truly, it is! I love fall, I love family and I love comfort food! Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of my favorite holidays and I can't wait to celebrate them this year! Last year I made an amazing Crock Pot Ham Recipe but this year I am thinking of changing it up a bit. I found this Aloha Ham Recipe and I think it will be what I serve this holiday season! Stick around to snag the recipe below.
I always have a hard time deciding if I want to serve ham or turkey during the holidays....I really just want them both at Christmas and Thanksgiving! But I really do love making ham during the holiday season. It is simple to make and I love using the leftover ham for other yummy meals throughout the week. Yum! And this recipe looks perfect for my holiday meal!

Ingredients
- 4 cups 100% DOLE® Canned Pineapple Juice
- 2 pieces fresh ginger (1-inch each), peeled and sliced
