How to make Baked Ham

Unwrap the spiral sliced ham.

Prepare a bowl and pour in the juice from the can of pineapple slices.

Add maraschino cherry juice to the bowl with the pineapple juice.

Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves (optional).

Add approximately 2 cups of brown sugar to the bowl and stir until well combined, tasting to adjust sweetness as desired.

Place the ham in a baking pan and pour the prepared juice mixture over the ham, ensuring it covers the entire ham and seeps between the slices.

Marinate the ham for 24 hours, basting with the juice from the pan occasionally.

The next day, uncover the ham and place pineapple slices and cherries on top, securing them with toothpicks.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cover the ham with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

After 1 hour and 30 minutes, uncover the ham, pour some juice on top, and increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the ham is nice and brown, basting with juice as needed.

Transfer the finished ham to a serving plate or flat baking pan.
