Fantastic Holiday Ham image

I make this ham at the holidays and always receive rave reviews, this ham will be the star attraction at you table --- do not use sugar-free 7-up for this, make certain before starting this that you have a large enough roasting pan with a rack that will fit into the pan, a 12-pound ham will take a bit of time to bake so make certain that you have all your other dishes made ahead of time --- if you don't want to go the extra step with the pineapple and cherries you may omit and just make the ham using the brown sugar coating :)

Time 5h25m

Yield 18-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 lb) bone-in ham
1/3-1/2 cup whole cloves
1/2 cup brown sugar, plus
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
1 (20 ounce) can sweetened pineapple rings (in syrup)
2 (4 ounce) jars maraschino cherries
1 (12 ounce) can 7-Up soda

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Using a sharp knife "score" the rind of the ham with diamond patterns.
  • Place the ham onto a rack in a very large WELL GREASED roasting pan.
  • Insert a meat thermometer into the ham, making certain that the thermometer does NOT touch the bone.
  • Press whole cloves into the center of each diamond.
  • Drain the pineapple juice from the pineapple rings into a bowl, then stir in the brown sugar, mustard powder and 7-Up soda; mix very well to combine.
  • Coat the complete ham with the brown sugar mixture.
  • Place the pineapple rings over the outside of the ham.
  • Place a whole maraschino cherry into the center of each pineapple ring, then attach with a wooden toothpick.
  • Bake uncovered for 4-5 hours, basting frequently with the pan juices or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
  • Remove the ham to a serving platter, then let sit for about 20 minutes.
  • Remove all toothpicks before serving.
  • Slice ham and enjoy!

The ham was a little dry, but the glaze was delicious. I think I might try brining the ham next time.

This ham was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think next time I'll use less brown sugar in the glaze.

I've made this ham twice now and it's been a success both times. The first time I made it for a holiday meal and everyone raved about it. The second time I made it for a smaller gathering and it was just as good. The glaze is amazing and the meat is
