The glaze should not be applied until the final hour to 30 minutes, in order to avoid burning the sugars. What you're going to do with the glaze ingredients is just combine most of them into a paste, and then apply it to the ham. After that, the heat in your oven will take care of everything.
Don't slice your ham until everyone is ready to eat! If you slice beforehand and put it in the oven to keep warm, the ham can run the risk of drying out. Instead: Wait until everyone is sitting down and ready to eat, then slice your ham to ensure that it's hot and flavorful!
Take ham slices (many hams are already spiral-sliced) and place them, overlapping, on a baking sheet.Cover with foil and place in a 325-degree oven. This way, the slices, according to Dearborn Brand Ham, will heat quickly and not dry out.
If the ham is a half ham weighing five to seven pounds, it should heat at 325°F for 22-25 minutes per pound. If it is a whole ham weighing between 10 to 14 pounds, heat the ham at 325°F for 18-20 minutes per pound. The internal temperature should be 140°F.
4After about 2 hours of baking time, remove the foil and brush the glaze on the ham in 20 minutes intervals (put the ham back in the oven, uncovered, in between) until it's nice and glossy. Remove from the oven and allow to rest 15 to 20 minutes before carving.
Add water to the bottom of the pan and cover the whole thing tightly with foil. Bake at 325F for 16-20 minutes per pound, until a meat thermometer registers 135F. Unwrap the ham and apply the glaze; increase the heat to 400F and bake for 15-20 minutes longer until the glaze is burnished.
About 20 minutes prior to the end of cooking time, begin glazing the ham but applying it with a silicon brush. Continue to glaze every 5 minutes until the ham is done. The ham is ready when a thermometer reads an internal temperature of 135-140f.
Place the ham in a large dish and pour glaze over the top to coat all over. Allow to stand in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Every 40 minutes, spoon the glaze that has pooled at the bottom of the dish over the ham.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place the ham on a rack in a large baking pan and add about 1/4- to 1/2 inch of water to the pan. If the ham is labeled "fully cooked" (does not require heating), heat it in the oven for about 10 minutes per pound, or to an internal temperature of 140 F.
