Holiday Ham

10 - 13 pound bone-in ham (not spiral)
1 can pineapple slices
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground cloves
Maraschino cherries

Preheat oven to 350.
Place ham in a foil lined 9x13 pan.
Whisk together juice from the pineapple slices, brown sugar & cloves. Using a meat injector, slowly inject the pineapple juice mixture into the ham. Make sure to inject in several different locations until all the juice is gone. Some juice may run out before you have finished injecting the ham. Continue to inject all the juice in the ham.
Place the pineapple rings around the top of the ham, using toothpicks to secure. Place cherries in the centers of the pineapple slices. Loosely cover with foil.
Bake for 2 - 3 hours or until ham is heated through. Leave foil over ham & allow to rest for 30 minutes then slice.
