Maple Glazed Ham
Ingredients
  • 1 (4 pound) boneless ham
  • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple slices, canned in syrup
  • 10 whole cloves
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius, for optimal results.
2
Take a fork and gently pierce the surface of the ham to prevent it from bursting during cooking.
3
Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the ham, securing them in place with toothpicks to maintain their position during baking.
4
Using a few whole cloves, carefully press them into the surface of the ham to add flavor and aroma.
5
Place the ham in a suitable baking dish, making sure it is large enough to accommodate the ham and any juices that may accumulate during cooking.
6
Add a small amount of water to the dish, just enough to create a moist environment for the ham.
7
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
8
Mix the melted butter with maple syrup, brown sugar, and honey until you achieve a smooth and heated glaze.
9
Pour half of the glaze over the ham, taking care not to spill any excess.
10
Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, periodically basting it with the remaining glaze to ensure even coating.
11
After baking, carefully pour the pan drippings from the dish into a saucepan over medium heat.
12
Continue to cook and stir the pan drippings until they thicken, then serve them alongside the glazed ham.
