"This wonderful and easy recipe was developed by my partner, Dean Ramsey."

 

• Ready In: 3hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 1 Ham

ingredients

• 1 (15 lb) whole smoked ham (bone in & not sliced)
• brown sugar
• 1 (14 ounce) can pineapple slices
• pineapple juice (from above can)
• honey
• maraschino cherry (without stems)
• 16 whole cloves
• round wood toothpick

directions

1. With a knife, score the fat on the top part of the ham to form diamonds or squares.
2. Be careful to only score the fat & not the meat. Place in a foil lined roasting pan & seal tightly with foil.
3. Place in a roasting pan & Bake in a preheated 325 degree F. oven. It should bake a total of 15 minutes per pound. At 1 hour prior to the completion of the baking time, remove from oven.
4. In a bowl, add pineapple juice & 1 cup honey & ½ cup brown sugar. Blend together & brush over the ham.
5. Place pineapple slices on ham & with a wooden toothpick attach the maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
6. Push a whole clove into the fat between each of the pineapple slices. Secure the cherries with the toothpicks.
7. Cover the ham lightly (like a tent) with foil & return the ham to the oven & bake for the final 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes.

Delicious!!!! Basted the ham as written but had a lot of leftover glaze. So added a splash of srirrachi (sp?) hot sauce and some cornstarch and water to thicken the remaining glaze to serve on the sice. Now that I read the recipe I believe my ham was only 6 pounds so that explains the extra sauce. But tasted wonderful ate it with the pineapple can't wait for leftovers tomorrow. Thanks Alan, and it looked wonderful even tho I did not have any cherries!
