Instructions

1 Place the spiral ham in a large roasting pan. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Score the ham with a knife, creating criss-cross cuts into the ham. Spike the
ham with 4-5 cloves.
2 Mix together the pineapple juice and ginger ale and pour 1/2 of it over the
ham. Pat the brown sugar on the ham, pressing to crust the brown sugar onto the
ham. Place in the oven and bake for approximately 12-15 minutes per pound.
While the ham is cooking, continue to baste it with the remainder of the juices
in the bottom of the pan.
3 When the ham is almost done baking, make the glaze. Pour the pineapple juice
and ginger ale into a medium bowl and microwave for about 45 seconds. In a
medium saucepan, melt the butter and mix with the flour to make a roux. Slowly
stir the juice mixture into the roux, whisking briskly to stir out the lumps.
4 Turn the heat up to medium-high. Stir in the brown sugar and crush pineapple
and heat to boiling. Allow it to boil 3-4 minutes until the mixture starts to
thicken, stirring constantly. Turn to low and simmer for about five minutes
until thickened. Although it is called a glaze, it is more like gravy that you
can drizzle on the ham and mashed potatoes. Yum!
