Method
Preparation
- 1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). This will ensure that the ham cooks evenly.
- 2
Prepare the Glaze
In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
- 3
Score the Ham
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This allows the glaze to penetrate and flavor the meat.
Cooking
- 4
Apply the Glaze
Brush half of the glaze mixture over the scored ham, making sure to get it into the cuts.
- 5
Bake the Ham
Place the ham in a roasting pan and cover it loosely with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

Serving

Rest the Ham
Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
- 9
Slice and Serve
Slice the ham and serve it warm, garnished with any additional pineapple or cherries if desired.
