INGREDIENTS
- 4-5 lbs fully cooked ham
- 5 cups pineapple juice
- 2 cups 7-up or sprite
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 20-25 whole cloves
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 6-8 sliced pineapple
- 2 cups reserved (poaching) liquid
- 1 cup crushed pineapple

INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine pineapple juice, 7-up and brown sugar. Stir well until dissolved. Add ham and 6 pieces of whole cloves making sure ham is submerged in the liquid. Bring into a boil over medium heat.

- Preheat oven in 350F. Score the ham in diamond pattern. Place whole cloves at the intersection points of the cuts. Cover ham generously with glaze. Bake ham in preheated oven for about 45 minutes while glazing every 15 minutes until nicely browned.
- CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE: Heat a skillet and add butter. Add pineapple slices and allow to brown over medium heat while turning occasionally until caramelized. Remove and set aside.
