Holiday Glazed Ham

Ingredients

• 1 boneless fully cooked ham (about 6 pounds)
• 1 tablespoon whole cloves
• 1 can (20 ounces) sliced pineapple
• 1 cup apricot preserves
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• Maraschino cherries

• Directions

• Preheat oven to 325°. Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Score the surface of ham, making diamond shapes 1/2 in. deep; insert a clove in each diamond. Bake, uncovered, 1-1/2 hours.
• Drain pineapple, reserving juice. In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, preserves, mustard and allspice. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• Spoon half of the glaze over ham. Secure pineapple slices and cherries on top and sides of ham with toothpicks.
• Bake 30-45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 140°, basting twice with remaining glaze. Yield: 16 servings.
