The absolute easiest recipe for Baked Ham with Pineapple Glaze is right here.

This ham isn't the typical spicy type unless you want it to be, we have the option of adding the cloves, nutmeg, and ginger-flavored ham listed in the recipe card.

Our family isn't a fan of those flavors, however, feel free to add that if that's the flavors you remember growing up with on your dinner tables or Easter ham meals.

Mom used whole cloves, on her ham and the smell is wonderful but just a bit overwhelming in flavors to us, as they say to each their own.

The ham depending on the size cooks at around 20 minutes per pound, we use an instant-read thermometer to ensure it's cooked all the way through.

This glaze is delicious and has pineapple with maraschino cherries and lemon-lime soda, that's how my mom made this recipe.
