- 1 ¼ cups brown sugar
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 jar sorrel jam

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove the rind and excess fat. Place ham in a baking pan on baking rack. Add water and 1 cup of the pineapple juice. Cover with foil and bake for an hour.

- Spread half of the pineapple syrup mixture over the ham and return to the oven for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, brush with glaze and press a clove into each diamond.
- Bake uncovered for another hour, or until the internal temperature of the ham registers 150°F, basting with glaze every 15 minutes.
