Helpful Ham Cooking Tips

  • Allow the ham to come to room temperature before cooking or heating.
  • Score the ham in a diamond pattern and stud with cloves for extra flavor.
  • Baste the ham every 30 minutes with its juices, broth, or glaze.
  •  Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
  • A sweet glaze can transform your ham. Try a blend of brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and a touch of cloves. Brush it on during the last hour of baking for a glossy, caramelized finish.
  • To keep your ham moist and tender while reheating, place it in a baking dish with water, cover it with foil, and heat it in the oven at a low temperature (around 275°F) until warmed. This method helps prevent the ham from drying out.
