Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ham

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep. This will help the glaze to penetrate and flavor the meat.

  2. 2

    Add Cloves

    Insert whole cloves into the intersections of the diamond cuts across the surface of the ham.

  3. 3

    Make the Glaze

    In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, and brown sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

  4. 4

    Glaze the Ham

    Place the ham in a roasting pan. Brush a generous amount of the glaze over the ham, making sure to cover all areas. Reserve some glaze for later.

  5. 5

    Bake the Ham

    Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until heated through. Baste the ham with the reserved glaze every 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize. Once done, let the ham rest for about 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
