- Place ham in a sturdy baking dish — shallow is fine, but it needs to hold the juices.
- Pour pineapple juice all over the ham, getting it into the crevices of a spiral ham.
- Press whole cloves into the outside of the ham.
- Cover very tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake at 325°F for approximately 10 minutes per pound.
- Remove cloves before serving.

Notes
Orange juice makes a great substitute if you don't have pineapple juice on hand. Stephanie saves her pineapple juice from Pineapple Casserole the day before — nothing goes to waste!
The tight foil seal is everything — don't skip it. Use heavy duty foil and seal the edges down well. This is what keeps your ham juicy. Start checking the internal temperature about 30 minutes before your estimated finish time. USDA recommends spiral-cut cooked hams reach 140°F internal temperature.
