Equipment
- 1 large, deep baking pan
- Tin foil
Ingredients
- 1 8 -12 lb bone-in ham
- Glaze for the ham
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Prep the hame by removing it from the packaging. make sure to check underneath. Sometimes there's a piece of plastic there or a glaze package that gets stuck.
- Line a large, deep baking dish with tin foil. Then place the ham flat side down on top of the foil.
- Follow instructions for the glaze. If you're using my glaze you will glaze the ham before it goes into the oven and throughout the process.
- Cover the ham loosely with another layer of foil.
- Add the ham to the oven and bake for 16- 20 minutes per pound. My 10 lb. ham took 2 and a half hours.
- Remove to glaze per glaze instructions and check temperature. Bake the ham until the internal temperature is 140 degrees. Use a meat thermometer to check in the thickest side. Don't let it touch the bone.
- To get more of a crystalized crust on the ham from the glaze, remove the foil on the top of the ham during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Let the ham rest for 15 minutes prior to serving. Tent it with the foil you previously removed.
- Serve with additional glaze and enjoy!
