Chef's Note & Story

The goal is to reheat the ham without drying it out. The best way to do this is to place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan.

Add water to the bottom of the pan and cover the whole thing tightly with foil, cut side down. Bake at 325 degrees F for 16-20 minutes per pound, until a meat thermometer registers 135 degrees F.

Unwrap the ham and apply the glaze; increase the heat to 400 degrees F and bake for 15-20 minutes longer until the glaze is burnished. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

If you really want to go “next level” carefully brush a little glaze between each layer of the spiral cut (but not the outside of the ham) before wrapping it up.

It’s a lot of work, but it makes a HUGE difference!
