Method
- Thaw the ham starting the night before.
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
- In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and water. Stir over low heat until a homogeneous mixture forms and thickens slightly.
- Place the ham in a shallow baking pan and insert the whole cloves into various parts of it.
- Spread the sugar mixture over the entire surface of the ham.
- Decorate the ham with the pineapple rings and cherries, securing them with toothpicks.
- Pour the syrup from the pineapple can over the ham.
- To prevent it from drying out, place the ham in a baking bag with a few small holes poked using a fork, or cover it with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 1 hour or until the surface looks golden. If you covered it with foil, uncover it a few minutes before removing it to allow it to brown.
