How To Cook A Spiral Ham?

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C)

Remove all packaging and place ham cut-side down in a roasting pan

If the ham has a glaze packet, set it aside

Score the surface of the ham lightly in a diamond pattern

Add about 1/2 to 1 cup of water or broth to the bottom of the pan

Cover the ham loosely with foil

Bake until heated through:

Plan about 10–15 minutes per pound

Start glazing during the last 20–30 minutes:

Brush on glaze and return to oven uncovered or loosely covered

Optional: For extra browning, remove foil for the final 10–15 minutes

Check temperature in the thickest part (avoid the bone):

Heat to 140°F (60°C) for fully cooked ham

Rest 10–15 minutes before slicing

Save pan juices for serving
