This will not of coarse remove all the salt from the ham but it will intensely reduce the salty flavor after it is cooked, you must use a fully cooked ham for this - plan ahead the ham must be refrigerated 24 hours before cooking.
Ingredients:
1 (8 -10 lb) fully-cooked spiral ham
1 lb light brown sugar
3 cups milk (or as needed to cover the bottom of the pan 1/4-inch deep)
3 (20 ounce) cans crushed pineapple, well drained
Directions:
1. Trim any visible fat from the surface of the ham and place cut-side down into a roasting pan.
2. Pour enough milk over the ham so that it ends up about 1/4-inch deep in the bottom of the roasting pan.
3. Use your hands to pack the ham in a generous coating of brown sugar.
4. Cover the brown sugar with a layer of crushed pineapple packed in the same manner (it's okay to have a few bare spots but try to cover as best you can).
5. Cover the ham with heavy foil and refrigerate overnight.
6. When ready to cook the ham preheat oven to 350°F for 10 minutes.
7. Leave the foil on the ham and roast for 30 minutes.
8. Remove the foil and baste with any juices that are on the bottom of the pan.
9. Continue roasting for another 35-40 minutes or until the ham is heated through.
