It’s a sweet glaze we miss, but not even in the name of authenticity can we recommend canned ham over natural. Therefore, this recipe has the same flavors that you would be likely to find on the canned ham, only applied to a bone-in half ham. Welcome back, pineapple and maraschino cherries—we’ve missed you! 1 (8-pound) smoked ham on the bone, preferably shank endAbout 40 whole cloves1 (12-ounce) can ginger ale or lemon-lime soda1 (20-ounce) can pineapple slices10 maraschino cherries1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a large roasting pan with aluminum foil.2. If the ham has the thick rind attached, trim most of it off, leaving a thin layer of fat. Score the ham in a diamond pattern. Insert the cloves evenly over the ham. Stand the ham in the pan, cut side down. Pour the ginger ale all over the ham.
