Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F. Score the surface of the 5 lb bone-in pre-cooked ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Brush the glaze evenly over the ham.
2. Step 2: Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan and bake for 1 hour 45 minutes, brushing with remaining glaze every 20 minutes, until heated through and caramelized on top.
3. Step 3: Meanwhile, combine 1 cup pineapple chunks, 1/2 small finely chopped red onion, 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and 1/4 tsp ground cloves in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until thickened into a chunky chutney with fragrant spices.
4. Step 4: Remove ham from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve slices topped with the warm spiced pineapple chutney for a sweet and savory holiday centerpiece.
