• Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes, covered with foil. This resting period helps the juices redistribute, guaranteeing a juicy ham when sliced.

  • To serve, cut the ham in half next to the bone, and slice the boneless side fat side up for clean, even pieces. It is important to use a fully cooked smoked bone-in ham for the best flavor and moistness.

    • Extra Tips:
    For the best results, guarantee your glaze is thick and sticky before applying it to the ham. If you find that the glaze is too runny, you can simmer it on the stove for a few minutes to thicken it.

    Additionally, consider experimenting with different fruit juices or spices in the glaze to customize the flavor to your liking.

    Always remember to check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer for perfectly cooked ham. Enjoy your delicious honey-glazed ham with your favorite sides!
