Ingredients
- 1 spiral-sliced half ham (Paula prefers Smithfield)
- 1 20-ounce can pineapple slices, juice reserved
- 15 to 20 whole cloves (optional)
- 1 small jar maraschino cherries
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
Directions
Preheat the oven as directed on the ham package and follow the instructions for baking the ham. Remove the ham from the oven about 30 minutes before the end of the warming time.
Decoratively arrange the pineapple slices on top of the ham, securing them with whole cloves, if using, or toothpicks. Place a cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and secure with a clove or toothpick.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard and just enough of the reserved pineapple juice to make a thick glaze. Spoon the glaze over the ham and bake for the remaining 30 minutes. Remove the ham from the oven, transfer to a cutting board and carve.

The recipe is very easy and super delicious. I used Smithfield uncooked ham. It tasted even better than other precooked hams. I used fresh cranberries for decoration instead of cherry. I will definitely add this recipe to my family tradition dishes.

Fantastic! Beautiful and a big hit. Followed the recipe and it came out perfect. The kids couldn't get enough, they thought the pineapple and cherries were a really fun and tasty touch!
