   Stir in the maple syrup, pineapple chunks and pineapple juice and bring to a simmer.

   Continue to simmer for 8 minutes and then remove from the heat.

5. 5

   Working with a sharp knife, score the ham on the bias, fat side up, by drawing the knife from 1 side of the ham to the other.

6. 6

   Be sure and make the incisions deep enough (about 1/2-inch) so that the glaze can reach the meat underneath the layer of fat.

7. 7

   Continue scoring the top of the ham in the other direction to form a criss-cross pattern over the top.

8. 8

   Using the toothpicks, attach the pineapple rings to the top and sides of the ham.

9. 9

   With a pastry brush or a large spoon, liberally apply a layer of the glaze.

    Place the ham in the oven or a barbecue pit and cook, frequently applying coats of the glaze about every 20 minutes.
