Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 (14-pound) cooked and smoked cured ham, shank end
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- 20 canned pineapple rings
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherries
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put oven rack in the middle of the oven.
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and thyme.
Put the ham in a large roasting pan, fat side up. Rub the ham with mustard glaze. Pour the pineapple juice into the bottom of the pan. Put the ham in the oven and bake for 2 hours, brushing every 20 minutes with the pineapple juice. Remove the ham from the oven.
Turn oven to 400 degrees F.
Using toothpicks, decoratively adhere the pineapple rings around the ham and put a cherry in the center of the pineapple ring. Sprinkle the pineapple rings lightly with brown sugar. Return to the oven, uncovered, and bake until the pineapples turn a light golden brown. Remove from the oven to a serving platter and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

This turned out wonderfully! Everyone commented on the wonderful taste of the mustard glaze!
Changes I made: I scored the ham into 1" diamonds, used Penzey's Bavarian Seasoning (was out of thyme, used Splenda Brown Sugar, and 20 minutes before the end, I mixed a jar of Smuckers pineapple ice cream topping (couldn't find preserves with some brown sugar and coated the ham with it deep into all the scores because my husband challenged me to use a pineapple glaze that wouldn't drip off.
Next time: I will remember to put brown sugar on the pineapple rings, this time I was a little distracted with 2 or 3 other dishes going at the same time. I will test my baster before major holidays so I'll have time to buy a new one. I will line my roaster with foil because I'm not looking forward to the scrubbing that awaits me in the sink tonight. I might also add more pineapple juice, since there was barely enough left to baste with by the end.
