This one looks best to me -- classic:
PINEAPPLE GLAZED HAM
If you buy a boneless ham, you'll still have the same amount of meat to eat, about 10 to 12 pounds (because the bone accounts for about 4 pounds). The bottom line is that the recipe directions are the same, regardless of the cut of ham.
1 smoked bone-in Virginia ham (14 to 16 pounds)
4 cups pineapple juice
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and smashed
12 to 16 whole cloves
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup light-brown sugar
About 10 pineapple rings
About 10 maraschino cherries
1. Combine the pineapple juice, ginger, and garlic in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer 25 minutes, reducing the liquid by half (to 2 cups). Strain and reserve.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
3. Carefully trim the thick rind and all but 1/4 inch of fat from the surface of the ham. With a sharp knife, score a diamond pattern and insert the cloves at the crossed points of the diamonds.
4. Set the ham in a shallow baking pan. Brush the mustard all over the top. Pat the sugar atop the mustard.
5. Starting at the butt end, decoratively arrange the pineapple rings, securing with cherries and toothpicks in the centers, working toward the bone. Pour the reserved pineapple juice into the bottom of the pan and place in the oven.
6. Bake for 1 1/2 hours, basting every 15 minutes.
7.When the ham is done, place it on a serving platter and let rest for 15 minutes. Carve into thin slices, beginning at the butt end. Serve warm with pan sauce alongside. Remove the pineapple slices and cherries as you carve and serve them with the ham.

Wash the ham first - to get rid of some of the added salt.
Add 1 can of beer - even flat beer is good, and 1 can of ginger ale...and top with sliced pineapple kept in place by toothpicks. Bake covered with aluminum foil or a lid.
Don't forget to remove the toothpicks before you serve it.....standard size takes about 1+hour.

Buy some sliced pineapples and pour juice over ham. Place pineapples on top of ham and put cherries in the holes. Cover ham with foil and bake till done.
