Ingredients
- 8 pounds fully cooked bone-in spiral ham
- 1.5 cups pineapple juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 8 pieces pineapple rings
- 8 pieces maraschino cherries
- 8 toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 2
Place the fully cooked spiral-cut ham, cut side down, on a large roasting pan. Cover it loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 10 minutes per pound to heat through.
Step 3
While the ham is baking, prepare the glaze by combining pineapple juice, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and ground cloves in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Step 4
Stir the mixture frequently until the sugar dissolves and the glaze thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Once the ham has heated for the initial bake time (about 80 minutes for an 8-pound ham), remove it from the oven and brush a generous amount of the glaze over the ham’s surface.
Step 6
Decorate the ham by attaching pineapple rings and maraschino cherries to the surface with toothpicks.
Step 7
Brush any remaining glaze over the pineapple rings and maraschino cherries.
Step 8
Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, basting with pan drippings halfway through, until the glaze is caramelized and sticky.
Step 9
Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
