Ingredients:
- 1 10 lb. bone-in ham
- ⅓ cup whole cloves
- 1 lg. can pineapple rings
- 1 12 oz. bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 4 oz. jar chopped maraschino cherries
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 F.
- Place ham in a roasting pan. Use a sharp knife to score ham rind with a diamond pattern.
- Press a clove into the center of each diamond.
- Drain juice from pineapple rings into a medium bowl; stir in lemon-lime soda and brown sugar.
- Coat ham with juice mixture and arrange pineapple rings on ham. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring and secure with a toothpick.

- Be sure the meat thermometer does not touch the bone when testing.
