Polish Baked Ham (Szynka Pieczona) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 lbs semi-boneless cooked ham
    6 pineapple rings (or more)
    1 1/2 cups ginger ale
    6 maraschino cherries (or more)
    1 tablespoon prepared mustard
    1 cup brown sugar
    whole cloves
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350.
    Score ham.
    Place pineapple rings and cherries on ham, fastening with wooden picks and pierce with cloves.
    Put ham in a baking pan and pour ginger ale over it.
    Bake in oven for 1 1/2 hours. Baste every 1/2 hour with the juice from the pan. Remove ham from the oven.
    Make a paste out of the mustard and sugar, using pan liquid to get a spreadable consistency. Spread on ham.
    Raise temperature to 400 degrees and bake for 15 more minutes, until browned.
