Easter Ham

1 ham (I like the texture of bone-in the best)
1 can crushed pineapple
1 cup water
2 cups brown sugar
1/4 tsp cloves, opt.

Bake ham according to package instructions. Towards end of baking time, combine remaining ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil for 2 minutes. When ham has about 30 minutes cooking time remaining, remove from oven. Discard most of the drippings and trim any fat/skin (if you didn't before cooking). Pour pineapple glaze over ham. Return to oven and finish baking, basting every 5 minutes or so (whatever you have patience for! The more times you do it, the prettier the ham). Serve with the sauce.

We love this ham!

(You could also start the basting process an hour before it's done, and baste less often)
