Old Fashioned Holiday Glazed Ham with Pineapple and Cherries
This retro recipe for an Old Fashioned Holiday Glazed Ham features pineapple slices, cherries, brown sugar and cloves.
Ingredients
- 6 pound spiral-sliced half ham (6 to 10 pounds is average)
- 20 ounce can pineapple slices juice reserved
- 15 to 20 whole cloves optional
- 10 ounce maraschino cherries drained and stems removed
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
Instructions
- Preheat the oven as directed on the ham package and follow the instructions for baking the ham. Remove the ham from the oven about 30 minutes before the end of the warming time.
- Decoratively arrange the pineapple slices on top of the ham, securing them with whole cloves, if using, or toothpicks. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and secure with a clove or toothpick.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard and just enough of the reserved pineapple juice to make a thick glaze. Spoon the glaze over the ham and bake for the remaining 30 minutes. Remove the ham from the oven, transfer to a cutting board and carve.
