We love ham during the holidays or just anytime.
There are some rules and tips to follow when baking ham. First of all a ham with the bone in it will be more flavorful.
A fully cooked ham can be eaten right from the package but the flavor can be enhanced by heating and adding a glaze.
Most likely you won’t find a ham that has not been cooked to some degree in the store. Hams are usually partially or fully cooked when you buy them.
Allow 1/4 pound of ham per person for a boneless ham. Remember to consider the weight of the bone for a bone-in-ham.
You should allow 20 minutes baking time per pound in a 350 degree oven for a partially cooked ham. If the ham is fully cooked allow 10 minutes per pound to heat. Allow 35 to 40 minutes per pound for uncooked hams.
Place the cut side down in the pan when cooking and I baste mine about every 20 minutes. The ham should reach 160 degrees to be ready for serving.
This is the glaze I use to cook my hams.

I am definitely dreaming about ham right now. It is our “go-to” Easter meal. This sounds delicious Judy!
Perhaps the four most beautiful words ever spoken- ever?! Honey Bourbon Glazed Ham. wow. Amazing.
I love ham…I use honey, brown sugar, orange juice and brandy. I think I’ll try to add mustard. Balisha
I missed this a few weeks back, but just did a search. I’m doing a ham Tuesday and thinking bourbon, molasses and pecan. But I was also thinking I bet the Southern Lady has a great recipe. And of course you do!

I don’t use bourbon, brandy or such. What would you suggest as the best alternative, please?
Betty, You can just leave the bourbon out and increase the amount of orange juice by 1/4 cup or you could use pineapple juice and put the pineapple rings on top of the ham while it is cooking. This also give a good flavor to the ham. If you use the pineapple juice leave out the orange juice. Hope this helps. Use toothpicks to hold the pineapple rings on the ham. You can also put a maraschino cherry in the hole of the pineapple ring and put the toothpick through the cherry.
