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