Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, and spices over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Score the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep, to help the glaze penetrate.
  4. Using a basting brush, coat the scored surface of the ham with the prepared glaze.
  5. Baste the ham every 20-30 minutes during roasting for 1.5 to 2 hours.
  6. Once the ham reaches 145°F (63°C), let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
