How to Make Baked Honey Glazed Ham

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C) or 300°F (150°C) if short on time.
  2. Remove the rind and most of the excess fat from the ham.
  3. Score the ham diagonally to create diamond patterns.
  4. Insert a clove into the center of each diamond.
  5. Place the ham in a baking pan lined with aluminum foil.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup honey.
  7. Pour the glaze over the ham, pressing it into the scored cuts.
  8. Secure slices of fresh pineapple (about 1 cup) to the ham using toothpicks, placing a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring.
  9. Bake the ham for 4-8 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).
  10. Every 30 minutes, baste the ham with an equal mixture of wine (1/2 cup) and ginger ale (1/2 cup), or use ginger ale only.
  11. During the last hour of cooking, use the pan juices for basting.
  12. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving.
  13. Enjoy your delicious, award-winning honey-glazed ham!
