Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

2
Prepare the ham

Remove ham from packaging. If ham has a thick layer of fat, score it in a diamond pattern. Place ham cut-side down in a roasting pan.

3
Add pineapple

Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Set pineapple rings aside. Pour half the juice over the ham.

4
Cover and start baking

Cover ham with foil. Bake for 1 hour (about 15 minutes per pound for pre-cooked ham).

5
Make the glaze

In a saucepan, combine maple syrup, brown sugar, mustard, cloves, and remaining pineapple juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened.

6
Apply first layer of glaze

After 1 hour of baking, remove ham from oven. Increase oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Remove foil. Brush ham with half the glaze.

7
Add pineapple rings

Arrange pineapple rings on ham, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

8
Finish baking

Return ham to oven, uncovered. Bake for 20 minutes.

9
Apply final glaze

Brush remaining glaze over ham and pineapple. Bake for an additional 10 minutes until glaze is caramelized and ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).

10
Rest and serve

Remove from oven. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Remove toothpicks before serving.
