Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham is cooked to the proper internal temperature.
• If the glaze starts to burn, cover the ham with foil and reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
• Allow the ham to rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute, making the meat even more tender.
