Ham for a Houseful

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 2 20-oz. cans crushed pineapple, drained
• 2 c. brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 c. honey
• 1 T. dry mustard
• 1 t. ground cloves
• 2 4 to 5-lb. fully cooked boneless hams

Preparation

Step 1

Combine all ingredients except the hams in a large saucepan; heat over medium heat until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stirring constantly, heat until liquid reduces and mixture thickens, about 10 additional minutes; remove from heat to cool.

Score surface of hams in a diamond pattern; insert meat thermometer into center of each ham.

Place hams in a roasting pan; cover and bake at 325 degrees for one hour. Uncover; spoon glaze over hams. Bake 45 minutes to one hour longer or until meat thermometer reads 140 degrees, basting every 15 minutes. Both hams together make about 32 servings.
