Tips:

  • To ensure the ham is cooked evenly, preheat the oven to the correct temperature before placing the ham inside.
  • When wrapping the ham in foil, make sure it is tightly sealed to prevent moisture loss and ensure even cooking.
  • To achieve a crispy and flavorful crust, brush the ham with a glaze made from brown sugar, honey, and spices before baking.
  • For a tender and juicy ham, baste it with the glaze every 15-20 minutes during the baking process.
  • To prevent the ham from drying out, add a pan of water to the bottom of the oven while baking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the ham to ensure it is cooked to the desired doneness.
  • Once cooked, let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
