Holiday Baked Ham Recipe

  Pork

Ingredients:
This tangy glazed ham is a little different than honey-baked, but it can add some sparkle to your holiday table.

8-1/2 lb. bone-in smoked ham
1 can (1 lb.,4 oz.)Dole Sliced Pineapple
1 cup apricot preserves
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
Whole cloves
Maraschino cherries

Directions:
Remove rind from ham; place fat side up on rack in open roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer with bulb centered in thickest part of meat. Bake in a 325 degree F. oven until thermometer registers 140 F.* Meanwhile, drain pineapple reserving all syrup. Combine syrup with apricot preserves, mustard and allspice. Boil to reduce by half. Remove ham from oven 1/2 hour before done. Using toothpicks, skewer pineapple slices over entire ham surface. Stud with cloves. Toothpick a cherry into center of each pineapple slice. Brush with glaze and return to oven. Continue brushing with glaze every 10 minutes until done. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

*18-20 minutes per pound for fully cooked ham;
22-25 minutes per pound for cook-before-eating ham.
