Holiday Ham
Ingredients
- 1 ham bone in
- 1 can pineapple slices
- 1 c light brown sugar
- whole cloves
- maraschino cherries
Instructions
- Place the ham in the roasting pan. Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut several slits into the ham
- Pour the juice from the pineapple slices all over the top of the ham
- Add brown sugar and rub all over the ham. Use your fingers to open up the slits you cut and pack as much brown sugar into the slits as you possibly can
- Insert a LOT of whole cloves all over the ham. Be sure to turn the pan around and get the back side of the ham
- Secure pineapple rings all over the top of the ham using two wooden toothpicks per pineapple ring slice. Place one cherry on the tip of another toothpick and stick in into the ham in the center of the pineapple ring
- Place in the oven and bake at 200°F. About once every hour, remove the lid using an oven mitt, set the lid aside (I place it on top of my glass cooktop on a towel). Basting the ham ensures that the meat will get and stay moist and be full of flavor! If you'd like, use the injector and inject oil or the pan juices during these basting sessions
- Cook the ham until the internal temperature has reached 145°F. Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 3 minutes before slicing or shredding. *The whole cloves will easily fall out, if you prefer, you can remove them before slicing the ham
