Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and place the spiral-cut ham in a roasting pan, cut side down.

  2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cherry preserves, Dijon mustard, and honey to create a glaze.

  3. Brush a generous amount of the glaze over the ham, ensuring it gets into the cuts for maximum flavor infusion.

  4. Arrange the pineapple rings on top of the ham, securing them with toothpicks. Place cloves in the center of the pineapple rings if desired.

  5. Cover the ham with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour.

  6. 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).

  7. Once cooked, let the ham rest for about 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

  8. Garnish with additional pineapple rings and maraschino cherries for a festive touch.

  9. Serve the Pineapple Ham Spiral warm, and watch it disappear off the table in no time!
