Servings: 14
Ingredients
- 7-8 lb Bone-in Ham
- 1 can Pineapple Rings in Juice 20 oz
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 12 oz Sprite or 7Up
- 1/2 cup whole cloves
- 4 oz Maraschino Cherries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Using a sharp knife, remove the tougher rind from the outside of the ham.
- Place the ham, cut side down, in a roasting pan.
- Score the outside of the ham with a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep.
- Pour the juice from the pineapple rings into a medium bowl, and set rings aside.
- Add the brown sugar and soda. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the mixture over the ham.
- Press a whole clove into the middle of each diamond.
- Place the pineapple rings over the outside of the ham, securing it with toothpicks.
- Place a cherry in the middle of each pineapple ring and secure it with a toothpick.
- Bake uncovered for 4 hours, basting frequently until the internal temperature reaches 160.
- Remove toothpicks before serving.
Notes
If the ham begins to begin browning too quickly, add a foil tent to keep it from drying out.
Be sure to bast frequently to achieve a moist ham. I bast mine at least every 30 minutes for the juiciest meat.
