glazed ham
I make this for my family every year at Easter, and they love it.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
A terrific and classic glazed ham for the holidays. When baked, the outside gets sugary and sticky thanks to the slightly sweet and tangy glaze. We loved that the pineapple sauce was served separately. This lets your guests drizzle as much (or little) as they want. A wonderful centerpiece for any Christmas or Easter dinner.

Test Kitchen Tips
In the Test Kitchen, in the last 15 minutes of baking, we added pineapple rings and cherries and secured them with toothpicks.

Step 1Cut the rind off the ham, if present. -
Step 2Score the top surface of the ham and stud with cloves. Place the fat side up on a rack in a shallow baking pan.

Step 3Cover with foil. Bake in a 350 F preheated oven, for approximately 15 minutes per pound, or follow wrapper directions.
-
Step 4In a bowl, combine sugar, syrup, and mustard. Set 3/4 cup aside.
-
Step 5In a saucepan, combine the remaining glaze and pineapple with juice. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
-
Step 6With the reserved glaze, baste the ham every 10 minutes during the last 30-45 minutes of baking.
-
Step 7Serve the pineapple sauce with the slices of ham.
