Step by Step Method
Step 1
Unwrap/remove all plastic from ham and place cut side down on a baking rack in a roasting pan.
Step 2
Lightly score any fatty areas with a knife in a diamond pattern.
Step 3
Wrap pan with foil and bake at 325F. for 20 minutes per pound, or about 3 hours for a ten pound ham.
Step 4
Meanwhile, stir glaze ingredients together in a small saute pan and bring to a boil; remove from heat; remove from heat and allow to cool. Glaze should be amber colored, have the consistency of honey and not be grainy at all.
Step 5
30 Minutes before the ham is done, remove from the oven and take off the foil.
Step 6
Use a carving knife to trim away any fat from the meat before brushing on the glaze.
Step 7
Brush half the glaze over the skin of the ham and return to oven without foil; bake 15 minutes.
Step 8
Then brush remaining glaze on ham and bake another 15-25 minutes or until glaze sets and begins to caramelize.
Step 9
Wait 15 minutes before carving.
