How to cook a Honey Baked Ham from the Honey Baked Ham Company? ›

Serving Instructions

We recommend that you do not heat Honey Baked Hams® - they are made to enjoy right from the refrigerator. If you prefer your meat warmed, gently heat on low heat 275°F for 10 min per pound only by the slice, do not heat the entire ham. Heating may cause the meat to dry out and lose flavor.

First, our Honey Baked Ham products start with a rigorous selection process, then the meat is smoked for up to 24 hours with our special blend of hardwood chips. The result is that every rich and flavorful bite, and every slice, is fall-apart-in-your-mouth perfect. There's something about that sweet, crunchy glaze.

Mix the applesauce, brown sugar and mustard in a bowl and then use your hands to cover the ham all the way around. Cover ham with foil. Put it into a 350 degree oven at 350 degrees for 14 minutes per pound.

Glazing: Empty contents of the glaze packet into a small saucepan. Add 22 mL (1 1/2 tbsp) warm water. Heat glaze mixture on high, stirring constantly, until glaze begins to boil. Remove immediately from heat.

You don't! Your spiral ham is already fully-cooked and ready to enjoy, and is best served directly from the refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 375°F, remove tray from box, peel corner of film to vent. Place tray on baking sheet in center oven rack. Back for 35 minutes, remove film completely and bake additional 20-22 minutes until edges are brown and bubble or until internal temperature reaches 165°F throughout. Let stand 2-3 minutes.

Any meat that is roasted in the oven needs moisture so it won't burn at the bottom of the pan or dry out. The trick is to make sure you add some kind of liquid to your pan. So here's the hack: Add half a cup of wine or stock to the bottom of your pan before popping that ham in the oven.

Cook it low and slow.

This ensures that the meat doesn't dry out as your ham spends at least a couple hours in the oven. The ideal temperature to cook at is 325°, and for a bone-in half ham it will take 20 to 25 minutes per pound to cook at that low of a temperature.

Peach preserves, hot pepper jelly, and maple syrup work as sweet bases for glazes that add sheen as well as distinct flavor. Tasty additions such as aromatics, herbs, and spices switch up a traditional ham and make it truly memorable.

Smoked Ham, Uncooked

If you're cooking a smoked ham that has not been pre-cooked (oftentimes labeled as "cook before eating"), you'll need to cook it at 325 degrees F until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.

When to put glaze on ham? ›

After the ham has cooked for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, brush the surface with some of the glaze. Then pop it back into the oven, uncovered, for another 20 minutes or so. Pull it out and brush on more glaze, then pop it back in the oven. Then pull it out and brush on more glaze!

Apple juice is a common ingredient used to keep a pre-cooked ham tender, moist and juicy. The sweet and tart taste of the juice enhances the flavor of your ham, too. Here's how to use an apple juice glaze when baking pre-cooked ham for the most delicious result.

Spoon the glaze over the entire ham, or apply it with a basting brush. Larger hams may need repeated applications of glaze. Use honey or maple syrup to create a glossier ham by brushing it on over the glaze as a final step. Put the ham back in the oven and finish baking.

Great clay recommends 1/2 pint of water for every 1lb. of glaze powder (7). brushing – 6.5-7.5 oz water, 4.5-6.8g bentonite, 2.3-3.4g CMC powder to 1 lb dry glaze. Glaze mixer states that most glazes are about 50% water so for every 1000g of powder you would add 1000mL of water (5).

While hams often comes packaged with a granulated glaze, you can — and should — make your own. It will transform a city ham to the most-talked-about dish at the table.

If you're starting with a pre-cooked ham, you'll only need to cook your ham long enough to heat it all the way through. Total cook time will depend on the size of the ham, your cooking method, and the cooking temperature. In general, you'll want to plan for 10-16 minutes per pound.

The Oven Method

Keep the Honey Baked Ham in its original foil wrapper or remove the wrapper and wrap with your own foil to keep it from drying out. Maintain the oven temperature at about 275°F to 300°F. A general time guide is to heat for 10 minutes for every pound of ham.

Bake at 325 F for 15 to 18 minutes per pound until a meat thermometer registers 140 F. Basting the ham as it heats will add to the moisture and overall flavor. Unwrap the ham, score it and apply the glaze; increase the heat to 400 F and bake for 15 to 20 minutes longer until the glaze is burnished.
