Pineapple Glazed Ham
Ingredients
  • 1 (12 pound) bone-in ham
  • 1/2 cup whole cloves
  • 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple rings in heavy syrup
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 (4 ounce) jar chopped maraschino cherries
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (or 160 degrees Celsius).
2
Then, position the ham in a roasting dish and utilize a sharp blade to carve intricate diamond patterns into its outer skin. Insert a clove at the center of each diamond shape.
3
Next, extract the juice from pineapple slices and combine it with a medium-sized bowl; stir in lemon-lime soda and brown sugar. Coat the ham evenly with this juice mixture, followed by arranging pineapple slices on top of it.
4
Place a maraschino cherry at the center of each pineapple ring and secure it with a toothpick to maintain its position.
5
After that, place the ham in the preheated oven with the lid off and frequently baste it with the juices from the roasting pan until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit (or 72 degrees Celsius), taking approximately 4 to 5 hours.
6
Remember to avoid touching the bone with your meat thermometer, ensuring accurate readings. Once done, remove the toothpicks before serving.
