Ingredients:

 

1 cup brown sugar

 

1/2 cup glaze from packet included with ham or maple syrup

 

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

 

1 can crushed pineapple, with juice

 

1 tablespoon corn starch

 

whole cloves

 

 

Directions:

 

Heat oven to temperature listed in cooking directions for bone-in ham.  Mix syrup, brown sugar and Dijon mustard until blended.  Spread a portion of the glaze over the ham.  Add cloves to the top of the ham.  Bake ham according to directions.

Before the ham is done cooking, combine remaining glaze with 1 tablespoon corn starch and crushed pineapple in a saucepan.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.  Cook and stir over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until thickened.  Serve sauce alongside ham.
