Steps:
- Let the ham sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Trim off any skin from the ham. Use a sharp paring knife to score through the fat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern without cutting through to the meat. Push the cloves into the ham, if using, placing them at the intersections of the cuts. Put the ham, flat-side down, on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Drain the pineapples, reserving the juice. Arrange the sliced pineapple all over the ham, securing with toothpicks. Add a maraschino cherry to the center of each pineapple slice and secure with a toothpick.
- Pour 1/4 inch water in the bottom of the pan and tent the ham with foil.
- Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the ham (avoiding bone) registers 130 degrees F, about 2 hours 30 minutes (or about 15 minutes per pound).
- Meanwhile, combine the honey, brown sugar and reserved pineapple juice in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, syrupy and reduced to about 3 cups, 25 to 30 minutes. Set aside.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
- Uncover the pan and carefully brush a third of the glaze all over the ham. If the water in the roasting pan has evaporated, add more. Bake the ham for 15 minutes more. Brush with another third of the glaze and bake for 15 minutes more. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham and cook until the glaze is shiny and the skin is dark golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes more. Let rest for 15 minutes.

PINEAPPLE MUSTARD GLAZED HAM
A baked spiral-sliced ham garnished with pineapple slices has a very retro feel. It's a recipe many of us are happy to revisit, especially around the holidays. Keeping the ham tightly wrapped in foil while it's in the oven ensures the meat will be succulent and juicy. Use canned pineapple slices packed in juice-fresh pineapple will not be as juicy and may dry out too quickly during cooking.

GLAZED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE
You can use a 14-pound bone-in ham also, and you can use more pineapple rings and maraschino cherries if desired to cover ham. A bone-in ham has just about the same amount of meat on it as a 7-8 boneless pound ham, as the bone accounts for about 4 pounds of the weight. This recipe can be made with both a bone-in or boneless ham. Stay close to the oven as this ham must be basted every 20 minutes. The cooking time is estimated depending on the size of ham, and also depends if you are cooking a bone-in or boneless ham, always check the weight on the package wrap and adjust the cooking time to that weight. The pineapple basting sauce can be made a day ahead and reheated before adding it into the roasting pan.

Steps:
- 1. Place the ham and the drippings in a deep dish roasting pan.
- 2. Score the top of the ham, diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep and an inch apart. In each diagonal point (like a grid), push a whole clove in each point of the ham. Poke whole cloves around the sides of the ham.
- 3. Spread the yellow mustard onto the top of the ham and the cloves.
- 4. Pack the brown sugar on the top of the ham, making a slight mound.
- 5. Arrange the pineapple rings on top of the brown sugar, over lapping them for a nice arrangement. Pour the pineapple juice into the roasting pan. Toothpick a maraschino cherry into the center of each pineapple ring to hold it there during the baking process.
- 6. Bake the ham at 275 degrees for 2 hours, tenting the ham with foil during the last 30 minutes of baking.
- 7. GLAZE:
- 8. Combine all the ingredients and cook over medium-low heat till well incorporated.
- 9. Set aside a cup of the cooked glaze mixture for the sauce.
- 10. Pour the remaining glaze over the ham during the last 1/2 an hour of baking.
- 11. SAUCE:
- 12. Combine the juices in the roasting pan with the ham glaze, cherry pie filling and raisins (opt.), in a saucepan and warm it over low heat. Remove from heat.
- 13. Slice the ham, use the pineapple rings and arrange it on a serving platter. Pour the hot sauce over the ham slices or serve it on the side.
Tips:
- Choose the right ham: Select a bone-in ham for better flavor and juiciness. Opt for a ham that is fully cooked and spiral-cut for easier carving.
- Prepare the glaze: The glaze is what gives the ham its sweet and tangy flavor. Combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and spices in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a crispy crust.
- Bake the ham: Place the ham in a baking dish and cover it with the glaze. Bake the ham according to the package directions or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
- Baste the ham: Baste the ham with the glaze every 15-20 minutes while it bakes. This will help keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Let the ham rest: Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Glazed pineapple ham is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for any special occasion. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this dish at home. The sweet and tangy glaze, combined with the juicy ham, creates a flavor combination that is sure to please everyone at your table.
