Pineapple Rum Glazed Ham

Ingredients

  • 1 bone-in ham, about 8-10 pounds
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup dark rum
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern and place it in a roasting pan.
  3. In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, brown sugar, rum, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the glaze is thick and syrupy, about 10 minutes.
  4. Brush the glaze over the ham, making sure to coat it evenly.
  5. Cover the ham with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  6. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 45-60 minutes, basting the ham with the pan juices every 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
  7. Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
