• Remove ham from package and pat dry if too wet.
• Place ham on roasting rack, flat side down, so the fatty side is facing up.
• Gently score the ham in a criss-cross pattern, and brush all over with 1/2 cup of the prepared glaze.
• Cover ham loosely with aluminum foil to prevent drying out or burning.

• Remove roasting pan from the oven and peel back or remove foil from the top and sides of the ham.
• Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F.

• Tent loosely with foil and let ham rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
