Baked Ham

This is a complete classic. Its Canned Ham and its amazing.
Generations of my family grew up on this and I hope you'll try it and pass it down your family line.
Its super easy, the only problem is that it takes a little time to cook but its completely worth the wait!
Its sweetness from the pineapples and brown sugar go perfect with the salty ham and rich cloves. You can have have it that night with some mash potatoes,mac&cheese or vegetable of choice. Refrigerate leftovers and the best part is the next day, toast some bread, warm a couple thin slices of ham with a pineapple slice and some juice on top in the microwave and have a sandwich. Its beyond words good!
Alright down to business!




Ingredients-
Hormel brand, Black Label Canned Ham (3lb)
Dole Pineapple Slices
Domino Light Brown Sugar
Small jar of Cloves



Prep-
In a (I prefer 8inch by 8inch) glass pan but any glass pan will work.
Place Ham in the middle of foil long ways, with about 9-10 inches of extra foil on each side.






Cut squares in top of ham about 1/2 inch deep and spaced 1 inch apart.
Place Cloves in corners of cuts. Place random cloves on sides.















Add brown sugar on top and place pineapple slices on top and a few on the sides(use whole can) and drizzle 1/3 cup of the pineapple juice on top.
Cover in more brown sugar (you'll use about 3/4 of the box)
Fold foil over long ways and meet in middle and roll down together and roll in the sides.
(and Yes I am making the chicken Fajitas at the same time,ha)


















Cooking-
Bake at 350F, Center rack for 2 hours
Open top of foil and bake for another 20-30 minutes to dry up and brown on top.

Cut thin and top with juice from pan and pineapples.


Enjoy.
