Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a deep 9 x 13 baking dish arrange 10 ham slices in 2 rows slightly over lapping.NOTE: if ham slices are thin, place 2 pieces together to form a thick slice.NOTE: if your ham is not pre-sliced, you can slice thick 1/4-1/2 inch slices.
- Place a pineapple ring on top of each ham slice. Place a cherry inside of the pineapple ring. Place cloves on ham slices for extra flavor.
- In a large measuring cup (4 cup or larger) whisk together cocoa-cola, pineapple juice, brown sugar, and mustard.
