MISSISSIPPI BAKED HAM
My partner's family is from Mississippi, and this is their recipe for Easter ham. I don't like ham at all, but I thought this was ok. Any ham-lover would adore this recipe, I think. Posted here mostly for safe-keeping, as I'll be making it every year.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Rinse and dry ham. Score skin of ham with a knife in a criss-crossing 1-inch diamond pattern all around. Stuff one clove in every gap where the crosses intersect.
- In a baking pan, whisk together the cola and reserved pinapple syrup. Place ham cut side down in the pan. Glaze with the cola/syrup mixture. Pat brown sugar all over the ham, then cover with foil.
- Bake, covered, for 15-20 minutes per pound or until internal temperature reaches 135-145°F (cooking these big chunks of meat always takes me longer than the packaging says- a probe thermometer really helps here). Baste every 20 minutes or so. Halfway through the cooking time, remove foil and stick the pineapple slices onto the ham with toothpicks. Put a maraschino cherry in each pineapple slice hole, also with a toothpick. Continue baking, uncovered, and don't forget to baste.
- For a more caramelized glaze on the ham, just before it has finished cooking increase the oven temperature to 450°F Check it frequently and baste constantly to make sure it does not burn.
- Remove from oven and let sit for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
