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.
