Thawing Ham
If frozen, thaw ham in refrigerator 2 to 3 days.

Heating Ham
1. Preheat oven to 275°F. Remove all packaging materials and place ham face down directly into baking dish or roasting pan. (Place whole ham on its side.) Cover tightly with lid, foil, or place in cooking bag.

2. Heat at 275°F. for approximately 12-15 minutes per pound. (Estimated heating times: Half ham--approx. 2 hours; Whole ham--approx. 3 hours.)

Glazing Ham
If you intend to glaze ham, remove ham from oven 10 minutes before end of heating time recommended above. Follow "Glazing Ham" instructions below.

Remove ham from oven 10 minutes before end of heating time recommended above. Open glaze packet and brush half of the contents on surface of the ham (see tips below). If ham was placed in cooking bag, carefully cut bag open and pull away from ham, then apply glaze. Heat glazed ham uncovered for 10 minutes at 275°F. Remove ham from oven. Heat remaining glaze in microwave safe dish for 40 seconds and serve with ham.

GLAZE PREPARATION TIPS - Glaze may be applied directly from packet. We recommend that the refrigerated glaze packet be warmed slightly in one of the following ways to help soften the contents prior to application:

Microwave: place packet in small microwave safe dish and warm on high for 40 seconds.

Warm Water: hold glaze packet under warm tap water for 40 seconds or until glaze is softened.
