In a small skillet add freshly chopped pineapple and pineapple juice over medium heat. Mix together well.
1 cup fresh pineapple, 1 cup pineapple juice
Add in brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir to combine and continue cooking until your glaze begins to lightly boil.
½ teaspoon cinnamon powder, ½ cup light brown sugar, 4-5 cloves
Turn down the heat to a low and cook for another 10 minutes, or until thickened.
Finish off the glaze by adding butter and mix well until fully melted.
1 tablespoon butter
Use glaze immediately on a ham or store it in the refrigerator.

I recommend using fresh pineapple juice, but you can use the juice from canned pineapple chunks or pineapple slices, or purchase juice from the store.
You can replace the brown sugar in this glaze with regular sugar.
If you have leftover pineapple glaze don't throw it out! Brush a little glaze over leftover ham to make it as delicious as the first time.
