How to Cook a Ham in the Oven

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 spiral cut or half bone-in ham w/ ham juices

  *
• 1 cup water

  *
• 1 glaze packet

  *
• 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the oven to 250° F.
• 2 Remove the ham from its packaging, and place it face down in the roasting pan.
• 3 If your package has any juices in it, pour them into the bottom of the pan,
  along with about 1 cup of water; this will help your ham to stay more moist.
• 4 Cover the ham tightly with foil (all of it but the bottom, so the juices can run
  out into the pan).
• 5 Bake the ham according to the instructions in your packaging; usually, it will
  require you to bake it for 12 to 15 minutes per pound. So a 10-pound ham will
  bake for about 120+ minutes.
• 6 About 45 minutes before the end of your bake time, empty the ham glaze packet
  into a small saucepan, along with 2 tablespoons water.
• 7 Bring the glaze to a boil over high heat while stirring constantly.
• 8 Remove the glaze from the heat. About 1/2 hour before end of cook time, remove
  the ham from the oven, take off the foil, and apply the glaze all over the
  outside of the ham with a basting brush.
• 9 Finish baking the ham, glazed and uncovered, for another 30 minutes or so.
• 10 When the ham is done, you can bring it out of the oven, let it cool just a bit,
  and use a sharp knife to slice it for serving. Store any leftovers in an
  airtight container in the fridge.
