Ingredients:
1 bone-in ham (about 8-10 pounds)
1 cup of brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup of pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
1/2 cup of Dijon mustard
1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
1 cup of pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
Pineapple maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (165°C). This will allow the ham to cook slowly and evenly, ensuring a moist and flavorful result.
Prepare the Ham: Place the ham on a roasting rack in a large baking pan. If your ham has a layer of fat, score the fat in a crisscross pattern with a sharp knife to allow the glaze to seep in. This step helps to enhance the flavor and make the glaze more effective.
