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.

This was a great ham! I did not use the cherries or the pineapple sauce. I just used the glaze and it was tasty!!!!!

The marascino cherries fell off the ham the first time I brushed on the glaze. I don't think I would bother with them again,but, the ham was excellent.Everyone loved this recipe and took home plenty of leftovers. I started glazing the ham after half an hour in the oven. I also did not make the sauce for on the side.However,we all agreed that this is by far our favorite ham recipe.

This was okay. If I were to make it again, I think I would glaze the ham from the very start. Not super flavorful the way it was. But the sauce was delicious!!!
