Step-by-Step Instructions

  4. Place the scored ham cut side down in the roasting pan and bake until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (about 2 hours).
  5. Brush the ham with the glaze every 15 minutes to build flavor and create a caramelized crust.
  6. Continue baking until the internal temperature reaches 140°F, about 10 to 15 minutes more.
  7. Let the ham rest for 10 to 20 minutes before carving.
  8. Slice the ham and serve with the leftover glaze on the side.
