Ingredients

Instructions

  • Let the ham sit at room temperature for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Place the ham cut side down in a 9x13 baking pan or roasting pan and cover very tightly with foil.
  • Roast for 10-12 minutes per pound until the internal temperature is 125-135 degrees. (A fully cooked ham is already cooked and just requires warming.)
  • After the ham has reached the desired temperature, remove the foil and brush on the Cranberry Chipotle Glaze.
  • Turn the oven to broil.
  • Cook the uncovered ham for 2-5 minutes under the boiler, while watching carefully, until the glaze is bubbly, caramelized, and fragrant.
  • Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing. Serve with any remaining Cranberry Chipotle Glaze.

Notes

Tips for how to make a juicy and moist ham.

  • According to the USDA, a fully cooked ham DOES NOT have to be heated to a high temperature!
  • The goal is to warm it, NOT to cook it more!
  • Choose a ham with a bone in it. It is less processed and retains moisture better.
  • Low and slow temperature is better.
  • Moisture! Cook with 1/2 cup of water or stock in the bottom of the roasting pan and cover very tightly with foil until the Cranberry Chipotle Glaze is applied.
  • Do not cook past 135 degrees and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
