Place the ham in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). Baste the ham with the glaze every 30 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
Rest and Serve:
Once the ham reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender ham.
Slice and Enjoy:
Carve the ham into thin slices and serve with the remaining glaze on the side. The sweet and savory flavors of the honey baked ham are sure to be a hit with your guests.
Tips:
If the glaze gets too thick while baking, you can thin it out with a little water or additional fruit juice.
For added flavor, you can marinate the ham in the glaze overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
Leftover honey baked ham is perfect for sandwiches, soups, or omelets, so be sure to save some for later!
Now, sit back and savor the applause as your guests enjoy this delectable honey baked ham at your next festive gathering.
