Baked Ham With Pineapple

Submitted by msjill111

"I got this from the Taste of Home website. The original recipe calls for a fully cooked ham but I always use an uncooked ham and cook it myself, you just have to cook it longer but a cooked ham would do just as well. This is the best ham I've ever had...honestly!"

 

• Ready In: 3hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 16

ingredients

• 2721.55-3628.73 g fully cooked bone in ham (6-8 pounds)
• whole cloves
• 118.29 ml packed brown sugar
• 226.79 g can pineapple slices, drained
• 59.14 ml pineapple juice
• 5 maraschino cherries

directions

1. Place ham in roasting pan.
2. Score the surface with shallow diagonal cuts, making diamond shapes.
3. Insert cloves into diamonds (use as many as you'd like). I like to use quite a few.
4. Cover and bake at 325°F for 1 1/2 hours. Longer if using an uncooked ham. Go according to package directions.
5. Combine brown sugar and pineapple juice, pour over ham.
6. Arrange pineapple and cherries on ham and secure with toothpicks.
7. Bake, uncovered an additional 30-45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 140°F.

Made this for Mother's Day. Perfect just as written. Thanks.

Made this delightful ham on Christmas day. Did not add the cloves, but otherwise, made as directed. Very moist ham with a nice zing from the pineapple juice and brown sugar. Next time around, I think I will use a little less pinapple juice and try to make the mixture more like a paste so it adheres to the ham, but the juices were fabulous. Thanks!
