Choose the right ham: They are all great but each has its own plus side. Bone-in hams are generally more flavorful and juicier, while boneless hams are easier to carve. A spiral ham makes serving easier but it can dry out if not properly glazed and covered.
Scoring: If you’re not cooking a pre-sliced ham, you can score the ham a diamond pattern using a sharp knife. This helps the glaze soak in while it bakes.
Cooking temp: Bake the ham at 325 degrees until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F for pre-cooked hams or 145°F for uncooked hams. Use a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the ham.
Cover with foil: If the top of the ham is browning too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil until it’s the right temperature.
Resting time: Once you cook the ham, remove from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, making the ham juicier.
Storing leftovers: Cover the ham with foil and place it in the fridge for up to a couple of days.
