Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Place the ham in a roasting pan, cut side down.

Mix brown sugar, honey, mustard, and cloves in a bowl until combined.

Spread the glaze evenly over the ham, ensuring it covers all surfaces.

Pour pineapple juice around the ham in the pan.

Cover the ham loosely with foil to prevent burning.

Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the juices.

Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes to caramelize the glaze.

Check the internal temperature; it should reach 140°F (60°C).

Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Slice and serve with pan juices.
