This ham is awesome...but so much better if you cook it in a plastic turkey cooking bag!!!

I have made this for Christmas and Easter and continue to love it. I am not a huge clove fan and neither is my husband, so we just make it without them and it turns out great. When you can find a recipe that your mother in law compliments you on, you know you found a winner!

Used this recipe for baking my first Easter Ham and it was out of this world. I used some other reviewers suggestions and used one teaspoon ground cloves, 1.5 cups brown sugar, juice from two cans pineapple rings and skipped the soda and used 1/4 cup mustard. I decorated with rings and cherries and kept covered with foil until last 30 minutes of baking. it was so moist and flavorful. this will be my recipe for ham from now on. thank you!

I submitted this recipe a while back. Today I read all the reviews. I want to add a few comments. First, don't be afraid of the cloves. I know it sounds like it's too many, but trust me, it will not overpower the taste. Personally, I can't stand the smell of them! Lol. Second, if your juice or pineapple are burning, the temperature of your oven may be off. I have NEVER had a problem with burning. Those of you who don't like this recipe, there are lots of other delicious recipes. Those of you who do like it, thank you for your comments. Thank you all for trying! Happy Cooking!

Best ham I've ever had. Couldn't find cloves, but hope I can try them next time. I cooked it for 1hr 30mins then added the pineapple. Then cooked it for another hour and a half. Turned out perfect, loved the pineapple taste. Will probably put more pineapple on next time.

Best way to cook a ham - keeps it moist and flavorful - baste at least every 30 minutes

My family really enjoyed this...I only had to make of couple of small modifications: I wasn't paying attention to the label when I bought the pinapple; I got juice-pack instead of heavy-syrup-pack, so I whisked in about a tablespoon (or about a 1-second squirt) of maple syrup to the pinapple juice. I used ginger ale instead of the lemon-lime soda. I couldn't justify opening a new can of soda when I had ginger ale in a bottle that was just starting to go flat, and would have been wasted otherwise. Even with those two small improvisations it came out great!!

I made this today for Thanksgiving, and all I can say is YUM! My mother accidently bought a fully cooked ham, so I cut the cook time 1.5 hours at 325 degrees. I increased the soda to 20 oz and used 1 cup of brown sugar, I also did not include the cherries (not a fan) but it still looks amazing. I would baste it every 20 minutes. This will be my go-to ham recipe.
