Calories 354 kcal
- 8-10 pounds bone-in fully-cooked, spiral-cut ham
- 20 ounce pineapple tidbits or crushed pineapple
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Remove ham from refrigerator 1-2 hours before baking, to allow it to come to room temperature.
Meanwhile, make the glaze. In a saucepan combine pineapple tidbits, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until mixture has thickened.
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Remove ham from packaging and throw away the glaze packet and the plastic disk that covers the bone.
Place the ham flat/cut side down, in a deep baking dish or roasting pan. Line pan with aluminum foil for easier clean-up. Brush just a few spoonfuls of the glaze onto the ham, all over the outside. Reserve the remaining glaze for later. Cover the ham tightly with a tent of aluminum foil.
Bake at 300 degrees F for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until internal temperature reaches 110 degrees.
Remove the ham from the oven and remove foil tent. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees. Brush the remaining glaze all over the ham. Return to the oven and continue to bake for another 15 minutes.
Remove from oven, tent with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
