Ingredients

• 1.75 kg Cooked/cured ham (bone-in or boneless), whole or half
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Pineapple juice
• 2 tbsp Honey
• 1 tbsp Mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern and stud with whole cloves if desired.
2. Place the ham on a roasting rack in a baking dish, cover loosely with foil, and bake for 45 minutes to warm through.
3. Meanwhile, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, mustard, and melted butter in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes until syrupy, to make the glaze.
4. Remove foil from the ham and brush generously with the glaze.
5. If desired, arrange pineapple slices and cherries on the surface, securing with toothpicks.
6. Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 20-30 minutes, basting with glaze every 10 minutes, until the surface is caramelized and glossy.
7. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature as a holiday centerpiece dish.
