Baked Ham With Pineapple

I got this recipe out of Taste of Home magazine forever ago. This makes a pretty ham that would be nice for an Easter meal or Christmas.

1 fully cooked bone-in ham, 6-8 lbs. (I’ve used a ½ or whole boneless ham before with success)

Whole cloves

½ c. packed brown sugar

¼ c. pineapple juice

1 can (8 oz.) sliced pineapple, drained (use for above juice)

5 maraschino cherries

Place ham in a roasting pan. Score the surface with shallow diagonal cuts, making diamond shapes. Insert cloves into diamonds. Cover and bake at 325º for 1 ½ hours. Combine brown sugar and pineapple juice; pour over ham. Arrange pineapple and cherries on ham. Bake, uncovered, 30-45 minutes longer or until meat thermometer reads 140º and the ham is heated through. Yield 16-20 servings.
