Finally, a recipe that uses soda! My Nan always used Mountain Dew (2 cups) and about 1/4 of the juice in a small jar of maraschino cherries as well, so those were the only things I changed. The extra soda gives more liquid for basting.

My mom's recipe for years is similar to this minus a few ingredients. Just place ham in crockpot, pour a 16 or 20 oz. can of pineapple rings with juice over top and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Walk away and let cook for 5-6 hours on low and wow. Not only will your house smell like ham heaven, but it will fall off the bone and break into chunks of yummy deliciousness. :) Enjoy!

First time making ham for a group of twenty and it got really good reviews. I left out the cloves & used canned real cherries instead of maraschino. For best results, use a bone-in picnic ham.

This recipe is staple in our house. When I buy a ham to cook up, this recipe is automatically pulled out. Easy, quick to put together, and everyone loves it. I will sometimes use some of the juice from the cherries instead of sugar, it works just as nicely.

For the first time this year I dressed up my ham with this recipe, I baked it covered then uncovered the last 30 mins, basting throughout cook time. Everyone loved it, but I didn't taste any of the clove flavor like I thought I would. My ham was already cooked so it just needed to be heated (2 hrs 45 mins).

As i recently moved to Brazil, and since im already home sick, i wanted to recreate my younger Xmas days that were filled with the pineapple ham my mother use to make. So my husband went shopping and came back with a whole green pineapple. Ok canned pineapple doesn't exist here. So when life gives you green pineapples, you curse your husband a bit and steal the ripe pineapple that was luckily at his parents house. So i made the pineapple syrup from scratch using the peel and sugar while i refrigerated the slices. Oh did i mention i had no lemon-lime carbo -blah blah blah. So i squeezed about half a lime on the syrup to substitute. Dang nothing was going to stop me from making this. So Then i poured the cool syrup on the slices and placed it back in the fridge. Best syrup ever! At the end the recipe worked it was a hit and cured my homesickness even if it was for a day or two.

I thought this sounded great and the flavor of the ham was great, but the texture was pure mush. We have ham fairly regularly, and it's never been mushy before.
