By anthonygregorio126

Ingredients

• 1 ham (fully cooked shank of butt portion)
• Glaze Ingredients
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard
• 15 or 20 cloves
• 3 tablespoons of pineapple juice
• Pineapple slices or chunks
• Basting Sauce Ingredients
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 cup orange juice

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place ham in baking pan and place in oven. Bake half of the baking time or until meat thermometer reads 130 degrees. Remove ham from the oven; score with a knife and stud with cloves. Place pineapple slices on ham with toothpicks. Spoon glaze over the whole ham and return to the oven; baste with basting sauce every15 minutes until done baking. Remove ham from the oven and let stand before carving.

If you’d like to use the glaze for a gravy (SWEET – but OH SO GOOD)….after the ham is done – transfer the drippings to a small sauce pan and thicken with Corn Starch! (make sure you mix the corn starch with just enough water to dissolve it BEFORE adding to the drippings)

* Cooking time for the ham will vary. Cook ham 20 minutes for every pound. (make sure the temperature is 160 degrees when done!) At the half way point of cooking add the glaze and pineapple
