  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, and place ham into the pan.

  • Bake in the preheated oven, occasionally basting with glaze, for 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Transfer ham to a serving platter and tent with foil for up to 30 minutes before serving.
