Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a roasting pan lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Pat the ham dry with paper towels and place it cut-side down in the roasting pan.
Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/2-inch deep.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, mustard, and ground cloves until smooth.
Pour honey over the scored ham and drizzle with pineapple juice.
Spread the glaze mixture evenly over the ham, covering every cut.
Arrange pineapple slices decoratively on top of the ham, securing if necessary.
Bake the ham for 1 to 1.5 hours, basting every 15 minutes with pan juices.
Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
Serve slices with pan drippings for added flavor.
