Directions

1. Preheat the Oven
   Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is crucial as it sets the perfect environment for your dish to bake evenly and achieve that tremendous caramelization.

   In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, reserved pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well blended. This mixture will create the fantastic glaze that brings out the flavors of both the ham and pineapple.

3. Combine Ham and Pineapple
   In a large baking dish, combine the diced ham and drained pineapple chunks. Make sure to spread them evenly across the dish, as even distribution ensures that every bite is equally delicious and satisfying.

4. Add the Glaze
   Pour the prepared brown sugar mixture over the ham and pineapple. Use a spatula or spoon to ensure every piece is well coated in the glaze. This step will make your dish incredibly flavorful and give it that beautiful caramelized finish in the oven.

5. Bake
   Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Watch as the glaze bubbles and caramelizes. The tremendous aroma wafting from the oven will have everyone eagerly anticipating mealtime.
