📝 Preparation Steps
1
Remove ham from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for ⏱️ 2 hours.
2
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Adjust oven rack to lowest position. Pour 2 of cups water into bottom of roasting pan with a roasting rack. (Skip step if you don’t have a roasting rack.)
3
Whisk together all of the Brown Sugar Glaze ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, stirring often, until brown sugar dissolves, about ⏱️ 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
4
Roll out 2 large pieces of foil to wrap your ham in, making sure they overlap in the center. Place ham on foil, flat side up, and brush ham all over with approximately 1/3 of the Glaze, including in between slices. Tightly wrap ham with foil and place ham FLAT/FACE SIDE DOWN on the roasting rack (or bottom of pan).
5
Bake ham at 325 degrees F until the center registers 100-110 degrees F, (approx. ⏱️ 10-14 minutes per pound). Remove ham from oven and increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
6
Carefully unwrap ham from foil and discard foil. Spoon juices from the bottom of the pan all over ham. Brush ham all over with 1/3 Glaze (Glaze will have thickened so return to heat to loosen, about ⏱️ 30 seconds).
7
Leave ham uncovered to caramelize surface and bake until the ham reaches an internal temperature of around 140 degrees F, approximately ⏱️ 20-30 minutes, spooning juices over ham every ⏱️ 10 minutes.*** Turn oven to broil for more caramelized edges if desired watching closely so they don’t burn.
8
Remove ham from oven and spoon juices from bottom of pan/foil again all over ham and brush again with Glaze. Loosely cover with foil. Let rest for ⏱️ 15 minutes then spoon more juices over ham and serve with any remaining Glaze (and my husband loves it with a side of Dijon as well).

Optional: Serve with Easter or Christmas sides linked below recipe.
