Notes
Always read the label to confirm if your ham is fully cooked or needs cooking. Keep the ham covered for most of the bake to prevent drying out. Glaze two to three times during the final 30 to 40 minutes for a sticky finish. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
