1 cured whole picnic ham
1 can pineapple rings
1/2 cup pure orange juice
1 can Sprite or 7-Up(only use half)
bottled cherries optional
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup bottled mustard
cloves

Score the ham with X's and boil for about 4 hours keep covering with boiling water.

Take out and keep 1 cup of the broth juice. Insert some cloves in the ham by spiking the pineapple rings all over the top with cherries in the middle of each ring....Mix the cup of broth juice, 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup pineapple juice(from canned pineapple), 1/2 cup pure orange juice, 1/2 can of soda and 1/4 cup prepared mustard.

Pour over the ham and bake at 350* for about 1 and 1/2 hours or a little more(depends on the size of the ham)...keep basting the ham with the juices, uncover and bake for 1/2 hour to glaze~keep an eye so it doesn't scorch.

thanks much

I may try this for Easter

after all of my searching & asking questions, I made a fully cooked ham.
I waremd it in a crock pot with brown sugar/crushed pineapple glaze on it.

I one day really need to make a "real" ham though.

Tamara I had spent so much time telling my brother about your feresh ham that he ordered one for them & they smoked it, sliced it thin & then warmed it in BBQ sauce. I must say it was good.

Yummy~ I'll take over the world...with one recipe at a time.

I just re-read and noticed when I say 'spike the pineapple' it means with the cloves. Like using a toothpick.

I thought so, Tamara, but thanks.
