Pineapple Glazed Ham with Brown Sugar
- 15 pounds Bone-in Ham
- 12 ounces, fluid Lemon Lime Soda, Sprite Or 7-Up
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 whole Pineapple, Peeled And Cored
- 10 ounces, weight Maraschino Cherries
- 1.
- Preheat oven to 325 F. 2.
- Place ham in a deep roasting pan.
- We used a disposable roasting pan for easy clean-up.
- 3.
- Use a knife and score the top of the ham 1/8 deep in a cross-hatched diamond pattern.
- 4.
- Put the brown sugar into a small bowl or cup.
- Mix 1/2 ounce of lemon lime soda into the brown sugar and pour the thick mix over the ham.
- 5.
- Pour the remainder of the can of soda into the pan.
- 6.
- Cut the pineapple into strips and place the strips (I call them saddles) over the ham for maximum contact.
- 7.
- Secure pineapple to the ham with toothpicks.
- Add Maraschino cherries onto the tip of each toothpick and slide them down on the picks until they touch the pineapple.
- Cover the pan with a sheet of heavy duty foil.
- 8.
- Cook the ham in the preheated oven (with the foil on) for 5 hours.
- Refer to the package instructions as well, because cook time will vary based on the size of the ham.
- 9.
- Remove foil and cook for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, being careful not to burn the ham.
- 10.
- When done remove the pan from the oven.
- Allow ham to rest 30 minutes before cutting.
