Instructions
Creating Baked Ham with Pineapple is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
2. Prepare the Ham: Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep, to allow the glaze to penetrate.
3. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves.
4. Apply the Glaze: Brush half of the glaze over the scored ham, making sure to get it into the diamond cuts.
5. Add Pineapple Slices: Arrange the pineapple slices over the ham, securing them with toothpicks if necessary. Brush the remaining glaze over the top.
6. Bake the Ham: Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until heated through. Remove the foil for the last 15-20 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
7. Check Temperature: Ensure the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140°F (60°C) for safe consumption.
8. Rest the Ham: Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
9. Slice and Serve: Slice the ham and serve with the caramelized pineapple on top.
Following these steps will ensure a beautifully baked ham that is both delicious and visually appealing.
