Pineapple-Glazed Ham

Category: Pork

1 (about 10-pound) cooked, smoked bone-in ham
1 1/2 tablespoon(s) whole cloves
2 cup(s) pineapple juice
1 cup(s) light-brown sugar
1/4 cup(s) Dijon mustard

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. With a sharp knife, remove skin and all but 1/4 inch fat from ham, then score a diamond pattern into fat. Press in a clove at each diamond point. Place ham in a pan and roast for 1 hour.
Meanwhile, make glaze by bringing pineapple juice, brown sugar, and mustard to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Gently boil until thickened and reduced by about half, about 30 minutes.
Brush ham with glaze and roast for 15 minutes; then repeat, for a total roasting time of 30 minutes. Remove ham from oven and let rest for 15 minutes. Discard cloves and carve ham into slices
