HAWAIIAN STYLE PINEAPPLE-GUAVA GLAZED HAM

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.
