4.      Preheat oven to 350°F.

5.      Spread a thick layer of filling on each ham slice; roll as for a jelly roll, lay in pan against one another so they don’t unroll.

6.      Place in a baking dish; pour pineapple juice over and sprinkle the top with coconut

7.      Cover with foil.

8.      Bake (1 hour for smoked ham and 20 minutes for boiled ham).
