Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 20 servings

  • 1 (12-pound) bone-in ham

  • ½ cup whole cloves

  • 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple rings in heavy syrup

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 (4 ounce) jar chopped maraschino cherries

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).

  2. Place ham in a roasting pan. Use a sharp knife to score ham rind with a diamond pattern. Press a clove into the center of each diamond.

  3. Drain juice from pineapple rings into a medium bowl; stir in lemon-lime soda and brown sugar. Coat ham with juice mixture and arrange pineapple rings on ham. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and secure with a toothpick.

  4. Bake uncovered, basting frequently with pan juices, in the preheated oven until the internal temperature of the ham is 160 degrees F (72 degrees C), 4 to 5 hours. Be sure the meat thermometer does not touch the bone. Remove toothpicks before serving.
