Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Prepare a 9x13 casserole dish for basting.

Place the smoked ham in the casserole dish.

Spread two tablespoons of yellow mustard over the ham.

Sprinkle half a cup of dark brown sugar evenly over the mustard.

Arrange fresh pineapple rings on top of the ham, securing with toothpicks if needed.

Place maraschino cherries on top of the pineapple rings.

Mix half a cup of pineapple juice and a little over half a cup of maraschino cherry juice in a bowl.

Add quarter teaspoon each of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger, and five whole cloves to the juice mixture.

Pour the juice mixture into the bottom of the casserole dish.

Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil, using toothpicks to hold it in place if necessary.

Bake in the preheated oven for three hours, basting every 30 minutes.

Remove the foil for the last half hour to allow for caramelization.

After three hours, remove the ham from the oven and cover it to keep warm while making the pineapple sauce.
