Recipe View Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.

For a deeper, richer flavor, consider using dark amber honey.
If you don't have a roasting rack, you can use a bed of chopped vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions to elevate the ham.
To prevent the glaze from burning, you can tent the ham with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.
Leftover ham can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
