Instructions
Creating Baked Ham with Pineapple is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Prepare the Ham: Place the ham in a roasting pan, flat side down. Score the surface in a diamond pattern.
3. Make the Glaze: In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves until well combined.
4. Apply the Glaze: Pour half of the glaze over the ham, making sure to spread it evenly.
5. Add Pineapple: Arrange the pineapple slices over the ham. Secure them with toothpicks if necessary. Drizzle the remaining glaze over the pineapple.
6. Bake: Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
7. Uncover and Glaze: After 1 hour, remove the foil and baste the ham with the juices in the pan. Bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes.
8. Check Temperature: Ensure the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F (60°C).
9. Rest: Once done, take the ham out of the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
10. Serve: Slice the ham and serve with the glazed pineapple on top. Garnish with maraschino cherries if desired.
