Ingredients

1 10-pound bone-in smoked ham (with water added)

1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup clover honey

Directions

  1. Adjust the oven racks to accommodate a large roasting pan. Fit the pan with a shallow roasting rack. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Unwrap the ham and rinse it under cold water. Place it on the rack in the roasting pan. Cover with foil and bake 1 hour 40 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar and honey in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved.
  3. Pour the brown sugar glaze over the ham and continue roasting1 hour 40 minutes more, basting at least twice with the drippings in the roaster. (To adjust the total roasting time for a smaller or larger ham, calculate 20 minutes per pound.) Check for doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into a meaty spot (not into fat or touching the bone)-it should register 160 degrees F.
  4. Let the ham stand 15 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to set. (You can make the ham up to 2 hours ahead; tent with foil and serve at room temperature.)

I believe the glazing info is great. The pre cooking does not need to be as long, as it is a pre cooked ham. I would suggest letting it come to room temp, roasting the ham covered in foil for around 30 minutes - this brings the internal temp up -  heating the glaze mix while ham is in oven or whatever you use to bake/roast in - then apply glaze, re-covering ham with the foil again. Baste it occasionally with the glaze as it will run to the bottom of the pan. After another 45 minutes to an hour you are ready set go!  Remove from ham and let sit for 20 minutes . Enjoy it!
