- 1 can 570 g pineapple chunks, drained, reserve 60 ml juice
For the Sweet and Tangy Glaze:
- 110 g brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Dijon or yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 60 ml reserved pineapple juice
- ¼ tsp ground cloves optional

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C and lightly grease a 33×23 cm baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk brown sugar, mustard, soy sauce, pineapple juice, and cloves until smooth and syrupy.
- Arrange diced ham and drained pineapple chunks in the dish, then pour the glaze over and toss gently to coat.
