We love the look of 1950s-style pineapple-glazed ham, maraschino cherries and all, but not the cloying sweetness. We spiked the glaze for our retro-chic version with hot sauce and apple cider vinegar to cut through the sugar. For the best results, the ham should rest before slicing just like any other roast; a full hour is ideal, but 30 minutes will work.
