Classic Baked Ham

I wanted to share my mom's classic baked ham recipe. We used to have this every Easter when I was growing up. I have never tasted better!

Ingredients:

  • 1 fully-cooked ham (preferably on the bone)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup sliced pineapple
  • maraschino cherries (with stems)
  • 1 cup black coffee, not strong

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Remove wrappings from ham. Place in roasting pan and bake 20 minutes per pound. Thirty minutes before the end of cooking, remove ham from the oven. Make 1/4 inch deep slits across top of ham both ways, forming diamond shapes. Place pineapple rings over ham placing a cherry in the center of each ring. Mix brown sugar and pineapple juice and spoon over the ham. Return it to the oven. Bake 15 minutes, then re-drizzle glaze over the ham. Pour coffee in the pan. This de-glazes the pan and makes a delicious gravy.
