1/2 cup maple-flavoured syrup
1/4 cup Grey Poupon Dijon Mustart

Recipe
PREHEAT oven to 305F. Mix sugar, syrup and mustard until well blended; set aside. Score ham with sharp knife; insert cloves into ham as desired. Arrange cherries, cut sides down, on surface of ham. Place ham on rack in shallow baking pan.
BAKE 2 hours or until ham reaches an internal temperature of 140F when tested in center with meat thermometer, brushing occasionally with 1/2 cup of the syrup mixture after 1 1/2 hours.
MIX remaining syrup mixture with cornstarch and pineapple with its liquid in saucepan; cook on medium-high heat until mixture comes to boil and thickens, stirring constantly. Serve with sliced ham.
