- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tsp chopped ginger

- Prepare glaze with pineapple juice or June plum juice (2 June plums peeled and chopped in 1 cup of water blend and strain), sugar, ginger and boil until thickened
- Place on wire rack in a shallow pan
- Make diamond-shaped cuts across the surface of the ham
- Stud the cuts with cloves leaving even spaces between each clove and brush on glaze
- Decorate with pineapple slices and cherries securing with toothpicks
- Cover with foil for best results in order to ensure the juices are baked right in
