Pineapple And Ginger Glazed Ham

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-10 pound) fully-cooked bone-in ham
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Score the ham with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, grated ginger, and ground cloves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
  4. Place the ham in a roasting pan and brush the glaze all over the ham, making sure to get into the scored lines.
  5. Bake the ham in the preheated oven, basting with the glaze every 20 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C), about 2 hours.
  6. Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
