Preparation
Chef’s notes
Plan for 0.5 lb of ham per person. So for about 12 guests, a 4 – 6 lb ham is recommended.
Score the ham in a diamond pattern to allow the glaze to seep through and absorb more flavor.
Use an instant-read thermometer for accurate results. The internal temperature should reach 140°F.
Let your ham rest for at least 15 minutes prior to serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Save the bone for a leftover hambone soup.
