Cranberry Glazed Ham

• 1 fully cooked smoked butt or shank-half ham, about 6 lbs. each, skin trimmed

• 2 cups canned cranberry jelly

• 1/4 tsp. ground cloves

• 2 tsp. dry mustard

• 2 Tbs. cider vinegar

• 16 whole cloves, approximately

• 1-1/4 lbs. unsweetened pineapple slices, drained

• toothpick

Preheat oven to 325°F. Using a sharp knife, score 1/4 inch deep cuts around outside of ham in a diamond pattern. Combine next 4 ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until jelly has melted. Spread mixture around outside of ham and stud with cloves. Attach pineapple rings to ham with toothpicks. Place ham on a lightly oiled roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan. Place in oven and bake about 1-1/2 hours, basting occasionally with remaining cranberry mixture, until a meat thermometer registers 150°F. Remove ham from oven, and allow to rest 10 minutes before slicing.
