Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fully cooked spiral-sliced ham 7 to 10 lbs
- ¾ cup pineapple juice
- ½ cup crushed pineapple drained
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 can pineapple slices drained, dry with a paper towel
- ¼ cup maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a roasting pan with foil and place the ham cut-side down in the pan.
- Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake for approximately 10 minutes per pound, around 1 hour and 30 minutes in total.
- In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, crushed pineapple, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, butter, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, and black pepper.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring often until the butter melts and the glaze thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- About 30 minutes before the ham is finished, remove it from the oven and uncover it. Add the drained pineapple rings and place a maraschino cherry in the center of each. Secure with toothpicks if needed. Spoon the glaze over the ham, allowing it to fall between the slices.
- Return the uncovered ham to the oven for the final 25 to 30 minutes of cooking.
- Once done, take the ham out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Ensure to drain the pineapple slices well to prevent excess moisture.
Using toothpicks helps to keep the pineapple and cherries in place during baking.
This dish is excellent for holiday gatherings or special occasions.
