Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
  2. Place your fully thawed ham in a shallow roasting pan. Add a little fluid to prevent scorching.
  3. Bake uncovered allowing 18 to 24 minutes per lb of ham.
  4. Your ham is ready to enjoy when the internal temperature reaches 135°F.
  5. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 min before carving.
