["Preheat oven to 325F.", "Remove wrapping and any plastic bone plug from ham.", "Place ham in roasting pan.", "I like one with high sides or a roasting pan with cover.", "Cut diagonal pattern into top of ham and place one clove clove in the center of each diamond.", "Prepare Glaze: Put liquids from pineapple and cherries in small saucepan with brown sugar, Worcheshire sauce and carbonated soda.", "Warm slightly on stovetop until brown sugar is dissolved.", "No need to boil!", "At this point, I usually use a food injector to inject some of the prepared glaze direct into several areas of the ham.", "Pour glaze over all surfaces of the ham.", "Place pineapple rings over as many surfaces of the ham as you can.", "Use toothpicks if necessary to \"pin\"" rings to end or sides.""
