Instructions

  1. 1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2 Mix maple syrup, orange juice, ginger ale, brown sugar, and honey together in a medium bowl. Stir in juice from maraschino cherries, and 1/2 of the cherries.
  3. 3 Score the outer edge of the ham with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern. Cuts should be about 1/4 inch deep to allow the ham to soak up the juice.
  4. 4 Place ham into an oven bag, and carefully pour the juice mixture over it, keeping all of the juice in the bag (it may look like there is too much juice, but the ham will soak it up while baking). Place pineapple slices on top of ham, and secure with toothpicks. Place cherries into the center of pineapple rings, and secure with toothpicks also. Tie the end of the bag closed with the ties provided, place in a large roasting pan, and cut a few small slits in the top of the oven bag.
  5. 5 Bake ham for 2 hours in the preheated oven. The internal temperature should be 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) when done. Be sure not to touch the bone when taking the temperature.
  6. 6 Remove ham from bag to a serving plate, and let stand for 10 minutes before carving.

  2. 2 Place ham on a rack set in a roasting pan, and carefully pour about 1/2 inch of hot water into the pan beneath the ham.

  4. 4 Mix together brown sugar, flour, dry mustard, honey, and lemon juice as needed to make a thick, smooth paste.
  5. 5 Brush ham generously with glaze. Skewer 1 pineapple chunk and 1 maraschino cherry per toothpick, and insert the decorated picks all over the ham. (Note: Not all skewers will have a cherry on them.)
  6. 6 Return ham to the oven, and roast for 15 minutes. Baste ham, fruit and all, with glaze and juices that have collected in the bottom of the pan, return to the oven, and roast for an additional 15 minutes. Let ham rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with pan juices, if desired.
