Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Score outside of ham in a criss-cross pattern. Stud with cloves. Combine Salsa, Pineapple and Honey in a small bowl. Spray baking pan or dish with Cooking Spray. Place Ham on rack in pan. Spoon Salsa-Pineapple mixture on top. Bake uncovered, about 1 3/4 hours or until meat thermometer reaches 140 degrees, basting every 20 minutes with pineapple juice and pan juices. Remove from oven and allow to stand 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Pass pineapple-salsa mixture with ham.

 

Notes: In New Mexico, we love the combination of sweet and spicy foods. This super simple combination makes the perfect holiday treat that is sure to please. Any leftover ham makes sandwiches that are super delicious!
