- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Using a sharp knife, score surface of ham crosswise and lengthwise, forming a crosshatch pattern about 1/4-inch deep and 1-inch apart. Place 1 clove in the center of each square. Place ham, fat-side up, in a double-layer disposable aluminum roasting pan. Pat the brown sugar onto the surface of the ham. Expect some sugar to fall into the roasting pan.
- Transfer to oven, and bake till brown sugar just begins to heat, about 30 min. Pour Coca-Cola over ham, mixing with melted sugar in bottom of roasting pan. Baste ham with sugar mix. Return to oven, and bake for 20 min.
- Meanwhile, combine 1 c. reserved pineapple juice and wine in a small bowl. Baste ham with pineapple mix. Bake ham for a total of 16 min per lb., basting every 20 min. During the last 20 min of baking time, decorate ham with pineapple rings. Use 2 to 3 toothpicks to hold each ring in place. Center a cherry in the center of each ring, and adhere with a toothpick.
- Transfer ham to a platter, removing all toothpicks. Garnish ham with fresh bay leaves.
- Serves 10 to 12.
