Baked Glazed Ham - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 (15 lb) whole smoked ham (bone in & not sliced)
brown sugar
1 (14 ounce) can pineapple slices
pineapple juice (from above can)
honey
maraschino cherry (without stems)
16 whole cloves
round wood toothpick
Preparation
-
With a knife, score the fat on the top part of the ham to form diamonds or squares.
Be careful to only score the fat & not the meat. Place in a foil lined roasting pan & seal tightly with foil.
Place in a roasting pan & Bake in a preheated 325 degree F. oven. It should bake a total of 15 minutes per pound. At 1 hour prior to the completion of the baking time, remove from oven.
In a bowl, add pineapple juice & 1 cup honey & 1/2 cup brown sugar. Blend together & brush over the ham.
Place pineapple slices on ham & with a wooden toothpick attach the maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
Push a whole clove into the fat between each of the pineapple slices. Secure the cherries with the toothpicks.
Cover the ham lightly (like a tent) with foil & return the ham to the oven & bake for the final 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes.
