HOW TO ROAST A HAM WITH A GLAZE
Serving Size - 1/2 lb. boneless ham per person
Your Lilac Hedge Farm ham HAS NOT BEEN PRE-COOKED.
The easiest way to cook a ham is to bake it in the oven. To bake your ham, pour half the glaze over the top, cover it with foil, then bake. At the end of the baking time, uncover the ham and pour the remaining glaze over the top. Bake until the glaze is caramelized, then serve.
It takes approximately 18-20 minutes per pound to bake a 10-15 lb. ham in the oven at 325 degrees F. Plan on 22-25 minutes per pound for a 5-7 lb. half ham. Use a thermometer to confirm that your ham is cooked to the proper temperature and is safe to eat. The thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham should register 145 degrees F. Let the ham rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
