Steps:

For a whole 10- to 15-pound ham, allow 18 to 20 minutes per pound; for a half--5 to 7 pounds--about 20 minutes per pound; or for a shank or butt portion weighing 3 to 4 pounds, about 35 minutes to the pound. In all cases, cook uncovered until the internal temperature reaches 160°F. For an attractive, quick finish, remove the ham from the oven about 30 minutes before it is done and glaze as directed below.
- II. Ham labeled "Fully Cooked" or "Ready to Eat"
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. To heat the ham, place it on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, and bake uncovered. For a whole ham, allow 15 to 18 minutes to the pound; for a half, 18 to 24 minutes per pound. The ham will be ready when the internal temperature reaches 140°F. To glaze the ham, remove it from the oven about 30 minutes before it is done, and increase the oven heat to 425°F. Remove all the rind but a collar around the shank bone. Slash the fat in the top of the ham in a diamond pattern, and cover the surface with brown sugar, dry mustard moistened with cider vinegar, prune juice, wine or ham drippings.
- Stud the fat at the intersections of the diamonds with whole cloves. Or decorate with alternating half pineapple rings studded with cranberries and stars cut from preserved orange peel.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: Look for a ham that is fully cooked and bone-in. The bone helps to keep the ham moist and flavorful.
- Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before you put the ham in. This will help to ensure that the ham cooks evenly.
- Cover the ham: Cover the ham with foil during cooking. This will help to keep the ham moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ham to check the internal temperature. The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the ham rest: Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
