GLAZED HAM WITH PINEAPPLE
You can use a 14-pound bone-in ham also, and you can use more pineapple rings and maraschino cherries if desired to cover ham. A bone-in ham has just about the same amount of meat on it as a 7-8 boneless pound ham, as the bone accounts for about 4 pounds of the weight. This recipe can be made with both a bone-in or boneless ham. Stay close to the oven as this ham must be basted every 20 minutes. The cooking time is estimated depending on the size of ham, and also depends if you are cooking a bone-in or boneless ham, always check the weight on the package wrap and adjust the cooking time to that weight. The pineapple basting sauce can be made a day ahead and reheated before adding it into the roasting pan.

Steps:
- In a saucepan combine the pineapple juice, ginger slices and garlic; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes (reducing the liquid to about 2 cups).
- Strain and reserve all liquid through a fine strainer.
- Set oven to 350 degrees F.
- Trim the thick rind with fat, but leave about 1/4-inch fat from the surface of the ham.
- With a very sharp knife, "score" a diamond pattern all over the ham, then insert the whole cloves at the crossed points of the diamonds.
- Set the ham in a shallow baking pan.
- Brush the mustard all over the top.
- Pat the sugar into the top of the mustard, pushing it in with a spoon or your hands.
- Starting at the butt end, and working towards the bone, decoratively arrange the pineapple rings securing with whole cherrries and toothpicks in the centers.
- Pour the reserved pineapple juice into the bottom of the pan and place in the oven.
- Bake for about 1-1/2 hours, basting about every 15-20 minutes (the cooking time might take longer depending on the weight of the ham).
- When ham is cooked, place it on a fancy serving platter and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Carve into thin slices, preferably with an electric knife, beginning with the butt end.
- Serve warm with the sauce from the pan in a serving cup.
- Remove the pineapple slices and cherries as you slice the ham.
- Delicious!
