This was a good holiday recipe for a sweet, traditional entree. Very easy to do and a nice change from ordinary ham.

Was very good.

Amazing recipe and so simple! Made this for Easter dinner last night. I've never tasted better ham! Thank you!

Good base recipe. I changed it up just to make it extra special for Easter dinner today (it would have been great as is) & it was wonderful! I used a smoked butt portion with 7Up as suggested by others. I basted a few times & drizzled pure maple syrup for the last 20 mins. It was so-o-o good my 12 year old couldn't stop eating it & he is very picky. Thanks for sharing.

I also followed this recipe for my Easter dinner today.. instead of water i used diet 7 up.. and i used the Splenda blend brown sugar.. (i am diabetic)Let me tell you.. omg.. my hubby is not a big fan of Ham.. but he ranted and raved about this one!! he said it was the best he has ever had in his life!! lol.. it was juicy and with just the right amount of sweetness.. i didnt have cloves.. so i left it out..... but very yummy. i used the Butt portion.. this will always be my cooking method for Easter Hame from now on!!! My Thanks to Auntie KK

I made this today for Easter. The cloves were a surprise hit with my company. I used a prebaked ham, and it was only 3-1/2 pounds, so only needed 1-1/2 hours in the oven. Adding the juice from the bag plus water to 1/2 inch and covering it tightly with foil made a moist ham. Thanks for the recipe!

I'm happy that someone else likes a simple ham. This is the fastest most elegent dinner you can make.If I have company then I put the pineapple rings with the cherries in the middle on top of the ham. As far as the people that didn't like cloves....You don't eat them, you take them all off before cutting the ham. Remember to score your ham not dice like my sister-in-law did), but score the top before you put your brown sugar on any extras you want. has anyone has made ham gravy? I haven't found anyone yet, but, love it when they try it at my house. It's a sweet gravy, but, delicious. Take the ham out of the pan and keep the drippings on the bottom of the pan (if you added some water before cooking you'll have more gravy). Don't salt or pepper since a lot of hams can be very salty. Make your ROUX (flour and water mixture), and start adding it to your drippings until you get the consistency that you want. If it's still to salty then add more water (little at a time). I always add a little more brown sugar until I get the taste that I want (my sister adds the pineapple juce instead of the water...like I said it's a sweet gravy (I was raised on this gravy). Let your family or company add their own s&p as they want. If you like raisins, I put raisins in it in the begining so they cook and puff up. Please try it, remember you don't have to serve it since you didn't purchase any thing extra to make it. You might surprise yourself and your family (& company).

A tip that may work for some of you: Cut the ham in a cross-hatch pattern; rub the brown sugar deep into the slits; add your cloves if desired. Sometimes I add pineapple slices to the top and pour a bit of the juice slowly over the top to help work the brown sugar down. Just use a tiny bit and pour slowly. I pour about 1/3 to 1/2 the juice from the canned pineapple into the bottom (instead of water). I normally use a 5lb fully cooked boneless ham, but you can increase the amount of juice/pineapple to fit your ham. Even with the water this method produces a delicious ham, and letting the slices mingle with the juices for a bit makes it even better.

This is a good basic recipe i left out the cloves and mixed a little Ginger in with the brown sugar yummy!! Very juicy and tender!!

Usually I agree with the majority of reviewers but this was not at all what I expected. I made it exactly as it called for and it tasted no different to me then throwing the ham straight into the oven without the cloves and sugar. The sugar melted off the ham almost instantly and the cloves didn't add hardly any flavor. It made the house smell great but taste wise, it was as plain as can be. Maybe it was something on my end (or maybe next time I need to increase the sugar.)
