Take a sharp knife and slice the brown sugar ham about half inch thick, getting about nine or ten slices.

Place each slice in a large casserole dish.

Add about 1/4 cup of Sprite to the dish for flavor.

Cover the dish with a lid and place it in a 375°F (190°C) oven.

Cook until heated through for about 40 minutes.

After 30 minutes, remove the lid and turn the ham slices over for the last 10 minutes to let them roast a little.

In a small bowl, add 1 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of mustard.

Mix until it becomes a paste, adjusting to a thin paste or thick glaze consistency.

Drain the liquid off the ham after cooking.

Pour the glaze over the top of the ham slices, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Place the glazed ham back in the 375°F (190°C) oven for another 20 minutes, flipping it over a couple of times while cooking.

Once the glaze bubbles up, remove it from the oven.

In a frying pan, add butter and some pineapple, browning it on each side for a couple of minutes for added flavor.

Serve the glazed ham topped with the browned pineapple and maraschino cherry.
