What You Need

cup packed dark brown sugar

1/2

cup maple-flavored or pancake syrup

1/4

cup GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard

whole boneless fully cooked ham (5 lb.)

Whole cloves

maraschino cherries, drained, halved

Tbsp. cornstarch

can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained

Make It

HEAT oven to 350°F.

MIX sugar, syrup and mustard until blended. Use paring knife to make shallow even diagonal cuts across top of ham in one direction. Repeat, making slits in opposite direction to form diamond shapes.

INSERT cloves where cuts meet. Place ham on rack in shallow pan. Place cherries, cut-sides down, on surface of ham.

BAKE 2 hours or until ham is heated through, brushing occasionally with 1/2 cup syrup mixture after 1-1/2 hours. About 10 min. before ham is done, mix remaining syrup mixture with cornstarch and pineapple in saucepan; bring to boil on medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir on medium-low heat 5 min. or until thickened.

SLICE ham. Serve with sauce.

We used this sauce on a Spiral ham and it was wonderful! The first one I made I used the country dijon, was a tad too much for me. The one I made for xmas we just used the dijon and it was awsome. Be careful you don't bite into one of the cloves tho, it is hard to place them on a spiral but you CAN do it. I will definatly make this again. Not alot of people cared for the sauce to ladel over the ham tho, they liked it just with the glaze.

This recipe was delicious!!! Of course, I had to more than double the recipe since I was making an 18+ pound ham. Everyone absolutely loved it, especially the sauce! People were asking me for the recipe and were saying that they will never do Christmas dinner again WITHOUT having the sauce for the ham. Simply superb!

The ham was great, but no one cared for the sauce for the side.
