Recipe View Run a kitchen torch over ham until glaze is crispy and caramelized, 2 to 5 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or apple cider vinegar to the glaze.
Ensure your ham is fully thawed before baking for even cooking.
If the glaze starts to darken too quickly, loosely tent the ham with foil during the last hour of baking.
Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
