Ingredients
  

  • 1 fully cooked boneless ham 2–3 pounds
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the ham in a baking dish and score the top lightly in a diamond pattern.
  2. In a bowl, mix the pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, cinnamon and cloves.
  3. Pour half of the glaze over the ham.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes, basting every 15 minutes with the remaining glaze and the juices in the dish, until the ham reaches 140°F in the center.
  5. For a more caramelized top, broil for 2–3 minutes, watching closely.
  6. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Spoon the pan juices over the slices.

Notes

  • Add 1 teaspoon of orange zest to the glaze for a citrus note.
  • Maple syrup can replace the honey.
  • Press pineapple rings onto the ham before baking for a retro look.
