Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the ham packaging.

In a small saucepan, combine the reserved pineapple juice, packed light brown sugar, and yellow mustard. Stir well to combine.

Heat the saucepan over medium heat, bringing the glaze to a simmer. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until the brown sugar is completely dissolved, and the mixture thickens slightly.

Place the spiral-sliced ham in a roasting pan. If the ham is not pre-scored, use a sharp knife to lightly score the surface in a diamond pattern.

Pour a portion of the glaze over the ham, making sure to get it into the scored areas. Use a basting brush to evenly coat the ham with the glaze.

Decoratively place maraschino cherries and pineapple slices on the ham, securing them with whole cloves if desired. Use toothpicks to hold them in place.

Follow the baking instructions on the ham packaging. As a general guide, bake the ham in the preheated oven until it reaches the recommended internal temperature.

Throughout the baking process, periodically baste the ham with the remaining glaze to enhance the flavor and keep it moist.

Once the ham is fully cooked, remove it from the oven, and let it rest for a few minutes before carving.

Carve the glazed spiral-sliced ham into slices and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve with the pineapple slices and cherries.
