Tips:
- Choose the right ham: A bone-in ham will give you more flavor than a boneless ham. If you are using a boneless ham, tie it with kitchen twine to help it hold its shape.
- Score the ham: Scoring the ham will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a crispy crust. Use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in the ham, about 1/2 inch deep and 1 inch apart.
- Make the glaze: The glaze is what gives the ham its sweet and tangy flavor. You can use a store-bought glaze or make your own. If you are making your own glaze, be sure to use fresh ingredients.
- Glaze the ham: Brush the ham with the glaze before baking it. You can glaze the ham once or twice during the baking process.
- Bake the ham: Bake the ham according to the package directions or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit for a medium-rare ham or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for a well-done ham.
- Let the ham rest: Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before carving it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
