Ham with Pineapple

A deliciously sweet and savory ham dish, perfect for large gatherings or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • bone-in ham (5.44 kg)
  • whole cloves (120 grams)
  • pineapple rings in heavy syrup (567 grams)
  • lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage (355 milliliters)
  • packed brown sugar (100 grams)
  • chopped maraschino cherries (113 grams)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
  2. Place ham in a roasting pan. Use a sharp knife to score ham rind with a diamond pattern. Press a clove into the center of each diamond.
  3. Drain juice from pineapple rings into a medium bowl; stir in lemon-lime soda and brown sugar. Coat ham with juice mixture and arrange pineapple rings on ham. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and secure with a toothpick.
  4. Bake uncovered, basting frequently with pan juices, in the preheated oven until the internal temperature of the ham is 160 degrees F (72 degrees C), 4 to 5 hours. Be sure the meat thermometer does not touch the bone. Remove toothpicks before serving.
