Prepare the Ham
Remove the ham from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. Place the ham on a cutting board.

Score the Ham
Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, making cuts about 1 inch apart. Be careful not to cut too deep.

In a bowl, combine brown sugar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Stir until well mixed.

Apply the Glaze
Spread the glaze evenly over the scored surface of the ham, ensuring it gets into the cuts.

Insert whole cloves into the intersections of the scored diamonds on the ham.
Cooking the Ham

Optional Pineapple Glaze
If using, during the last 30 minutes of cooking, arrange pineapple rings on top of the ham and secure them with toothpicks. Add maraschino cherries in the center of each ring.

Finish and Serve
Remove the foil for the last 20 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize. Once done, let the ham rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
