Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Preheat the oven
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
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.
Add pineapple
Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Set pineapple rings aside. Pour half the juice over the ham.
Cover and start baking
Cover ham with foil. Bake for 1 hour (about 15 minutes per pound for pre-cooked ham).
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.
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.
Add pineapple rings
Arrange pineapple rings on ham, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
Finish baking
Return ham to oven, uncovered. Bake for 20 minutes.
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).
Rest and serve
Remove from oven. Let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Remove toothpicks before serving.
