Bottled lemon juice is often more affordable.

Squeeze a generous amount of mustard on the ham and spread it evenly all over.

Season the ham with ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and black pepper to taste.

Add brown sugar to the ham and press it in.

Let the ham sit and marinate for two hours.

Grab pineapple slices and add them all over the ham, using toothpicks to hold them in place.

Add cherries in the middle of the pineapple slices.

Pour in about a fourth of a cup of apple cider vinegar.

Melt down three tablespoons of butter in a saucepan.

Add half a cup of brown sugar to the melted butter and mix well until the sugar dissolves.

Drizzle in about two tablespoons of honey into the mixture.

Add one cup each of pineapple juice and cherry juice that was saved earlier and mix well.

Pour the glaze all over the ham.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about an hour to an hour and a half, basting the ham every 20 minutes.
