Pineapple-Glazed Ha

Ingredients:

1 fully cooked bone-in ham (8-10 lbs)

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup pineapple juice

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 tsp ground cloves

Pineapple rings (canned or fresh)

Maraschino cherries (optional)

Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Ham:

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Place ham in a roasting pan, cut side down. Score the surface in a crisscross pattern.

Make the Glaze:

In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, and cloves. Simmer until slightly thickened.

Apply the Glaze:

Brush half the glaze evenly over the ham. Cover with aluminum foil.

Bake:

Roast ham for about 1 1/2 hours, basting with remaining glaze every 30 minutes.

Add Pineapple Rings:

Arrange pineapple rings and cherries (if using) on the ham during the last 30 minutes. Baste generously and return to oven uncovered for a caramelized finish.

Serve:

Let ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and serve warm.
