How to Make Baked Ham With Brown Sugar Honey Glaze

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Adjust oven racks to accommodate a large covered roasting pan.
Place a shallow rack inside the roasting pan.
Unwrap the ham and rinse it under cold water. Pat it dry with paper towels.
Place the ham on the rack in the prepared roasting pan.
Cover the pan tightly with the lid and bake for 182 minutes (half of the total cooking time).
While the ham is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup packed brown sugar and ½ cup honey. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth. (approx 5-7 minutes)
After 182 minutes of baking, remove the lid, pour the brown sugar honey glaze evenly over the ham, and return the lid to the pan. Continue baking for another 183 minutes, basting the ham with the pan drippings every 30 minutes.
After the total cooking time of 365 minutes, check the ham's internal temperature using a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham. It should register 160°F (71°C).
Once the ham reaches 160°F (71°C), remove it from the oven and let it rest, uncovered, for 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.
