Pineapple Glazed Ham Recipe: A Sweet & Savory Delight

Ingredients

• 1 (12 pound) bone-in ham
• 0.5 cup whole cloves
• 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple rings in heavy syrup
• 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 (4 ounce) jar chopped maraschino cherries

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and gather all the necessary ingredients for this pineapple ham recipe.
2. Place the ham in a roasting pan. Score the ham rind in a diamond pattern using a sharp knife. Insert a clove into the center of each diamond.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the juice from the pineapple rings with lemon-lime soda and brown sugar.
4. Generously coat the ham with the juice mixture. Arrange pineapple rings attractively on the ham, securing each with a toothpick. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
5. Bake the ham uncovered in the preheated oven, basting frequently with the pan juices, until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (72°C). This should take approximately 4 to 5 hours. Ensure the meat thermometer doesn't touch the bone. Remove the toothpicks before serving this delicious pineapple ham.
