Ingredients

  • 1 (6-8 pound) fully cooked bone-in ham

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Score the surface of the ham with shallow diagonal cuts, dot with the cloves, and place in a roasting pan.
  • Combine ½ cup pineapple juice, ½ cup maraschino cherry juice, and the brown sugar in a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Let simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Baste the ham with the pineapple cherry sauce, cover with foil, and roast for 1½ hours, basting every 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and decorate with the pineapple slices and as many cherries as you’d like, securing with toothpicks. Baste again and cook uncovered for another 30-45 minutes. Remove the cloves before serving.
