### Ingredients:
* 1 (7-9 lb) fully cooked, bone-in ham (spiral-sliced or shank portion)
* 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, undrained
* 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
* 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
* 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
* 1 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
* Whole cloves (optional, for studding)
* Pineapple rings and maraschino cherries (for garnish, optional)
### Step-by-Step Instructions :
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Place the ham in a large roasting pan, fat side up.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice), brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, and ground cloves. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined, creating your luscious pineapple glaze.
4. If your ham is not spiral-sliced, use a sharp knife to score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/2 inch deep. This helps the glaze penetrate and the ham cook evenly.
5. If desired, press whole cloves into the intersections of the scored ham.
6. Spoon about 1/3 of the pineapple glaze evenly over the ham.
