Directions:Glaze (see recipe below)
Adjust oven rack to low position and heat oven to 250º. Remove any tough rind but not fat from ham with a sharp knife. Starting at cut end of ham, score fat with knife to create a diamond pattern on the ham's surface. Line a shallow roasting pan with a sheet of foil. Place ham, cut surface down, on a wire rack set over foil-lined pan. Bake ham until scored fat is very visible, about 1 hour.
Remove ham from oven and brush surface with the entire glaze. Return ham to oven; bake until meat thermometer inserted deep into the ham's center registers 140º, 3-4 hours longer, depending on ham's internal temp at start of the roasting. Total roasting time is 4-5 hours or about 30 minutes per pound.
Remove from oven. Let rest 5 minutes. Carve and serve.
Glaze: Bring pineapple concentrate, ginger and cloves to boil in small saucepan. Simmer until thick and golden 3-4 minutes. Set aside until ready to glaze ham. |

Notes: The way I remember Mom's was with pineapple slices and cherries held with toothpicks or whole cloves studding the diamond cuts.
