How to Store Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftover Honey Baked Ham (though it’s rare with such a tasty dish!), you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply warm the ham slices in the microwave or oven until heated through, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent them from drying out.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I use a different type of ham for this recipe? A: Yes, you can use a bone-in or boneless ham of your choice, but keep in mind that cooking times may vary depending on the size and type of ham. Adjust the cooking time accordingly and use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ham reaches the proper internal temperature.
Q: Can I make the glaze ahead of time? A: Absolutely! You can make the glaze up to 3 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Simply reheat the glaze gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before brushing it onto the ham.
Q: Can I use maple syrup instead of honey in the glaze? A: Yes, you can substitute maple syrup for honey if you prefer. Just be aware that maple syrup has a stronger flavor than honey, so you may want to adjust the other seasonings in the glaze accordingly to balance the flavors.
