Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fully cooked ham (about 8–10 pounds)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 can (20 oz) pineapple slices
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup honey
- Whole cloves (optional)
Instructions

- Arrange pineapple slices on top of the ham and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Cover the ham loosely with foil and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes.
