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.

Quick, easy, and absolutely the best glaze I've ever tried! Most glazes I've tried in the past simply slide right off the ham -- this one stays on the ham during the warming time in the oven and gives the ham a wonderful taste! The dijon-pineapple sauce served as an accompaniment was a big hit at the dinner table on Easter Sunday -- the fruity sweetness of pineapple and brown sugar with just a little "zing" from the dijon mustard -- superb!

This was our Easter ham. It was delicious. The only thing I added was sliced pineapple with the cherries. It looked pretty as a picture but too good to leave alone. The ham was very moist. Definitely a keeper.
