Step 3

Cover the roasting pan with a lid or a large piece of foil; wrap the foil around the rim of the pan to create a secure seal.

Step 4

Cook the ham for 15 minutes per lb. Pour an included glaze mix in a saucepan and add 3 tbsp. of water. Bring the glaze to a boil over medium heat.

Step 5

Remove the ham from the oven when its internal temperature reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit when checked with a food thermometer. Take a ham that includes a glaze packet out of the oven 10 minutes before it is done. Pour the prepared glaze evenly over the ham and cook the meat for another 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
