INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 cup maple syrup
    • 1 cup orange juice
    • 1 cup ginger ale
    • 🧂 ½ cup brown sugar
    • 🍯 ½ cup honey
    • 1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, halved
    • 1 (12 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
    • 1 (15.25 ounce) can pineapple slices in juice, drained
    • 1 box round wooden toothpicks

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2

Mix maple syrup, orange juice, ginger ale, brown sugar, and honey together in a medium bowl. Stir in juice from maraschino cherries, and half of the cherries.

3

Score the outer edge of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep to allow it to absorb the juice.

4

Place ham in an oven bag, pour the prepared juice mixture over it, arrange pineapple slices and cherries on the ham using toothpicks, and secure the bag.

5

Bake the ham for 2 hours in the preheated oven, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

6

Remove ham from bag, let it rest for 10 minutes, then carve and serve.
