Ingredients
  

For the Ham
  • 1 each Bone-in Ham ensure it’s fully cooked
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar can be substituted with honey or maple syrup
  • 12 rings Pineapple Rings fresh or canned
  • 1/2 cup Honey Mustard substitute with Dijon mustard if preferred
For the Glaze
  • 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar can use balsamic vinegar instead
  • 1 teaspoon Cloves or ground cloves if not available
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon adjust according to personal preference
  • 1/4 cup Water can use pineapple juice for extra sweetness

Equipment

  • roasting pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • sharp knife
  • toothpicks
  • foil

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Gather your ingredients including the ham and glaze components.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, honey mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, and cloves until smooth.
  3. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, cutting about ½ inch deep, and place it in a roasting pan.
  4. Layer the pineapple rings across the ham and drizzle half of the glaze over it, ensuring it seeps into the scores.
  5. Cover the roasting pan loosely with foil and bake for about 1.5 hours, basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes.
  6. In the final 30 minutes, remove the foil to allow the glaze to caramelize, creating a crust.
  7. Once the desired temperature and caramelization are achieved, remove from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
  8. Slice the ham into thick pieces and serve, garnished with remaining pineapple rings.
