Tips:

Choose the right ham. Look for a bone-in ham with a nice layer of fat on the outside. This will help keep the ham moist while it cooks.
Preheat your oven. This will help the ham cook evenly.
Use a roasting pan with a rack. This will allow the ham to cook evenly and prevent it from sitting in its own juices.
Score the ham. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham and create a crispy crust.
Make the glaze ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld and develop.
Baste the ham frequently. This will help keep it moist and flavorful.
Let the ham rest before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Baked ham with sweet glaze is a classic dish that is perfect for any special occasion. With its sweet and savory flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy-to-make main course, give this recipe a try.
