Heating Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 325°F.
- Bake: Cover the ham tightly with foil to retain its moisture and bake for approximately 22–25 minutes per pound. (Note: If you are making a homemade glaze, pour half over the ham before covering it).
- Temp: Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham. It is ready and safe to serve when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
- Rest: Remove from the oven and let the ham rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing to lock in the juices.
Serving Suggestion: Our Favorite Citrus Brown Sugar Glaze Want to add a sweet finish to your ham? This simple homemade glaze perfectly complements the savory pork.
- Ingredients: ½ cup butter, 1 cup brown sugar, ½ cup orange juice, zest of 1 orange, 1 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of ground cloves.
- Directions: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- How to apply: Pour half the glaze over the ham before your initial covered bake. When the ham is almost to temperature, uncover it, pour the remaining glaze over the top, and return it to the oven uncovered until the outside is richly caramelized.
