Step 6: Finish and Serve
Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the glaze to caramelize and form a beautiful crust. Once the ham is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes and Tips
Choosing the Ham: Look for a fully cooked, bone-in ham for the best flavor and texture. A spiral-cut ham can make slicing easier but be careful not to overcook it.
Scoring the Ham: Scoring the ham helps the glaze penetrate the meat and adds an attractive appearance. However, if you’re short on time, you can skip this step.
Leftovers: Store any leftover ham in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Leftover ham is delicious in sandwiches, salads, or even added to soups and casseroles.
