What You'll Need
- 1 (5-pound) canned ham
- 20 whole cloves (optional)
- 1 (20-ounce) can sliced pineapple, undrained
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 9 maraschino cherries
What to Do
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove ham from can; place ham in a 9-inch by 13-inch baking dish. Using a sharp knife, make 20 (1/4-inch-deep) cuts in top of ham in a diamond pattern. Insert whole cloves into ham in center of diamonds, if desired. Bake, uncovered, 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, drain pineapple, reserving 2 tablespoons juice. Combine juice, brown sugar, and next 3 ingredients, stirring well.
- Remove ham from oven; arrange pineapple slices around sides of ham, using toothpicks. Place 1 cherry in center of each pineapple ring. Spoon brown sugar mixture over ham.
- Bake, uncovered, 45 more minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices. To serve, slice into individual servings, removing toothpicks and whole cloves.
Notes
With this recipe, it's easy to dress up a canned ham in a snap. Just make 1/4-inch deep cuts in the top in a diamond pattern and insert a whole clove into the center of each diamond.
