Ingredients
- One 12-pound cured ham
- 1 cup pineapple juice

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Score the skin and fat of the ham in a diamond pattern.
Combine the pineapple juice, sarsaparilla, sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until the sugar is dissolved.
