Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Remove all packaging from the ham, including glaze packet, and place face down in a large roasting pan.
- Add 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the pan, then cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Cook the ham for 14-16 minutes per pound, or until an internal temperature of 120 degrees. Total cook time will vary by weight.
- Remove the ham from the oven and allow to rest for about 10 minutes before serving, or glazing, if desired.
- Massage the packet to gently blend the glaze. Cut one corner off the glaze packet and squeeze glaze evenly over the top of ham. If desired, use a knife or brush to spread glaze between slices. Allow glaze to melt into the ham before serving.
Tips to Stretch Your Dollar
To help cut down on food waste—and make use of any remaining ham in your fridge—you can create your own rendition of a turkey gobbler. Simply substitute turkey with slices of your hickory smoked ham and layer in your remaining glaze sauce, cranberry sauce and your choice of cheese. Enjoy!
