Notes
- Ensure the ham is properly thawed and at room temperature before cooking; this helps achieve even heating and prevents drying out during the baking process.
- Use a flavorful glaze, such as a mixture of brown sugar, honey, and mustard, applied during the last hour of baking to enhance the ham's natural sweetness and create a beautiful caramelized finish.
