• Make sure to baste the ham with the glaze regularly to ensure a flavorful and glossy coating.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover ham can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• To reheat the ham, place it in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for about 15 minutes per pound, or until heated through.
• Serve the ham slices with additional glaze on the side for dipping.
