Choose the right cut of meat: For a juicy and flavorful ham, choose a bone-in, fully cooked ham with a shank end. The shank end has more fat, which helps to keep the meat moist during cooking.
Use a good marinade: A marinade helps to infuse the ham with flavor and keep it moist. There are many different marinade recipes to choose from, so find one that you like and that complements the flavor of the ham.
Marinate the ham for at least 12 hours: The longer you marinate the ham, the more flavor it will absorb. If you don't have time to marinate the ham for 12 hours, you can marinate it for as little as 4 hours.
Cook the ham slowly: To prevent the ham from drying out, cook it slowly at a low temperature. The ideal internal temperature for a cooked ham is 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Baste the ham frequently: Basting the ham with the marinade or with water helps to keep it moist and flavorful. Baste the ham every 30 minutes or so during cooking.
