How to prepare Glazed baked Ham
• Before you bake your ham ensure that it is close to room temperature. It cooks faster if the ham is not frozen or cold.
• Take a roasting pan and line it with foil
• Place the ham on the pan
• With a sharp knife cut diagonal lines across the ham creating diamond shape cuts.
• At each intersection of the cut stud the ham with cloves.
• Baste the ham with the honey glaze and put the pan in a preheated oven.
• Continue basting the ham every 15-20 min.
• Cook the ham for 1 hour in the oven.
• Finish cooking the ham by putting it in a broiler for 2-3 min to get that brown crusty coating.
Remove the cooked ham on to a serving platter lined with diced or sliced vegetables. Your Glazed baked ham is ready to be carved and served.
