Ingredients
  

For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Honey can substitute with maple syrup for a different flavor profile
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar coconut sugar can be used for a healthier option
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard yellow mustard is a suitable alternative
  • 1 pinch Ground cloves optional but enhances the flavor
For the Ham
  • 1 piece Bone-in ham fully cooked; fresh ham works but requires longer cooking time
  • 8 slices Pineapple feel free to use fresh or canned for ease

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Small saucepan
  • Roasting rack
  • Deep baking dish
  • sharp knife
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and let the ham come to room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves. Stir until bubbling and thick, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside some glaze for basting.
  3. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern and arrange the pineapple slices over the top, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
  4. Brush the ham generously with glaze, place in the oven covered with foil, and roast for 15-18 minutes per pound, basting every 30 minutes.
  5. In the last 30 minutes, uncover the ham to allow browning and continue basting with the glaze.
  6. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
