Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and place the spiral-cut ham in a roasting pan, cut side down.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cherry preserves, Dijon mustard, and honey to create a glaze.
-
Brush a generous amount of the glaze over the ham, ensuring it gets into the cuts for maximum flavor infusion.
-
Arrange the pineapple rings on top of the ham, securing them with toothpicks. Place cloves in the center of the pineapple rings if desired.
-
Cover the ham with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour.
-
Remove the foil and baste the ham with the pan juices and additional glaze. Return the ham to the oven, uncovered, for another 30-45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).
-
Once cooked, let the ham rest for about 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
-
Garnish with additional pineapple rings and maraschino cherries for a festive touch.
-
Serve the Pineapple Ham Spiral warm, and watch it disappear off the table in no time!
