Baked Glazed Ham

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

• Ready In: 3 hrs 15 mins
• 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.
