Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, oats and ham; mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. , In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch and cloves if desired. Stir in pineapple juice, corn syrup, vinegar and mustard until smooth.

HAM WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C).
• Place ham in a roasting pan. Score the rind of the ham with a diamond pattern. Press a clove into the center of each diamond. Drain the juice from the pineapple rings into a medium bowl, and stir in the brown sugar and lemon-lime soda. Coat the ham with this mixture. Arrange the pineapple rings over the outside of the ham. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring, and secure with a toothpick.
• Bake uncovered for 4 to 5 hours, basting frequently with the juices, until the internal temperature of the ham is 160 degrees F (72 degrees C). Be sure the meat thermometer is not touching the bone. Remove toothpicks before serving.

PINEAPPLE HAM BALLS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine ham, pork, bread crumbs, eggs and pepper and mix well. Chill. Form into 10 balls; set aside. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup of juice. Place juice in a saucepan with sugar, vinegar and dry mustard; cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Arrange pineapple slices in the bottom of an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Place a ham ball on each pineapple slice. Pour sugar mixture over all. Cover and bake at 350° for 1 hour or until ham balls are thoroughly cooked.

PINEAPPLE HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Diagonally score the ham with a sharp knife. Place ham in a casserole dish.
• To make the glaze, whisk 3 tablespoons of the juice from the pineapple with brown sugar, dijon, and cloves. Set aside.
• Brush ham with dijon mustard and pour remaining pineapple juice over ham. Cover with foil and cook 80 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and brush with pineapple glaze. Place pineapple rings over ham and secure with toothpicks (add a ½ maraschino cherry to the center of each if desired.)
• Bake uncovered 25-35 minutes or just until ham reaches 140°F. Do not overcook.
• Remove ham from the oven and let it rest 10 minutes before slicing.

BROWN SUGAR AND PINEAPPLE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place the ham, cut side down, into a roasting pan.
• Cut the skin off the pineapple with a sharp knife and cut out any brown spots of skin left behind. Slice the pineapple into 1/2-inch slices and cut the cores out of the slices. Pin the slices onto the ham with toothpicks.
• Bake ham in the preheated oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham reads 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• While the ham is baking, mix the pineapple juice and brown sugar in a microwave-safe ceramic or glass bowl and microwave on medium power until the glaze is boiling and slightly thickened. Work carefully because the glaze will be sticky and very hot.
• Pour about half the glaze evenly over the ham and pineapple about 1 hour before the end of baking; pour the rest over the ham about 30 minutes before the end of baking.

• Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, and ground mustard in a saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
