Fill a large pot with water and soak the ham overnight.

Infuse the water with thyme, rosemary, sage, cloves, and onions.

Drain the water from the ham the next morning and place it on a foil tray.

Dab the ham dry with paper towels to remove moisture.

Cover the ham and bake it in the oven for 4 hours at a temperature of your choice, approximately 1 hour per kg.

After 4 hours, remove the skin from the ham.

Prepare the glaze by combining the juice from the pineapple slices, a bit of cherry juice, two heaping spoons of strawberry jam, and brown sugar in a saucepan.

Let the glaze reduce on low heat for 5 to 10 minutes.

Pour the glaze over the ham and return it to the oven.

Baste the ham every 10 minutes to thicken the glaze.
