Tips:

  • Choose the right ham. Look for a fully cooked ham that is at least 10 pounds. A bone-in ham will give you more flavor, but a boneless ham is easier to carve.
  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Place the ham in a roasting pan. If you are using a bone-in ham, place it in the pan with the bone side down. If you are using a boneless ham, place it in the pan with the flat side down.
  • Score the ham. Use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the ham.
  • Glaze the ham. You can use a variety of glazes for your ham. Some popular options include brown sugar glaze, honey glaze, and maple glaze.
  • Cover the ham with foil. This will help the ham to cook evenly.
  • Bake the ham for 1 hour and 30 minutes per pound. Check the ham occasionally to make sure that it is not overcooking.
  • Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ham.

Baking a ham is a classic and easy way to feed a crowd. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and memorable meal. Be sure to follow these tips to ensure that your ham turns out perfectly.
