This recipe for our Holiday Ham is made every year at either Thanksgiving or Christmas. The original recipe is my mom's, but this recipe here has a little twists and tweaks that I've made. It's sooooo delicious! The photo is not mine, but will soon be replaced with one of my own.

How To Make hawaiian style pineapple-guava glazed ham

  • Step 1
    Place the ham and the drippings in a deep dish roasting pan.
  • Step 2
    Score the top of the ham, diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep and an inch apart. In each diagonal point (like a grid), push a whole clove in each point of the ham. Poke whole cloves around the sides of the ham.
  • Step 3
    Spread the yellow mustard onto the top of the ham and the cloves.
  • Step 4
    Pack the brown sugar on the top of the ham, making a slight mound.
  • Step 5
    Arrange the pineapple rings on top of the brown sugar, over lapping them for a nice arrangement. Pour the pineapple juice into the roasting pan. Toothpick a maraschino cherry into the center of each pineapple ring to hold it there during the baking process.
  • Step 6
    Bake the ham at 275 degrees for 2 hours, tenting the ham with foil during the last 30 minutes of baking.
  • Step 7
    GLAZE:
  • Step 8
    Combine all the ingredients and cook over medium-low heat till well incorporated.
  • Step 9
    Set aside a cup of the cooked glaze mixture for the sauce.
  • Step 10
    Pour the remaining glaze over the ham during the last 1/2 an hour of baking.
  • Step 11
    SAUCE:
  • Step 12
    Combine the juices in the roasting pan with the ham glaze, cherry pie filling and raisins (opt.), in a saucepan and warm it over low heat. Remove from heat.
  • Step 13
    Slice the ham, use the pineapple rings and arrange it on a serving platter. Pour the hot sauce over the ham slices or serve it on the side.
