Annonce:

- Glaze the Ham:
- Brush a generous amount of the honey glaze over the scored ham, ensuring it gets into the cuts.
- Bake the Ham:
- Cover the roasting pan with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake the ham for about 10-12 minutes per pound, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
- Baste the Ham:
- Periodically, while the ham is baking, baste it with the remaining honey glaze from the pan to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Add Pineapple Rings and Cherries (Optional):
- About 30 minutes before the ham is done, you can decorate it by placing pineapple rings and maraschino cherries on the surface. Secure them with toothpicks.
- Rest and Serve:
- Once the ham reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
- Carve and Serve:
- Carve the ham into slices and serve it with the remaining honey glaze as a sauce.
