![]() ![]() You may wish to cut the bag open for the last ½ hour or so of cooking to allow the glaze to brown. If you do, can you lower the temperature to about 300 F (150 C), and possibly even reduce the oven time, because the bag will hold heat in and cause it to cook faster. Place ham in a roasting pan and pour about 3/4 cup water into the bottom of the pan. If you wish, you may bake it in a plastic oven bag, to ensure it stays moist. Bake for about 2 hours on lowest rack, or until internal temperature reaches 140 F (60 C). Cover with foil, if the pan doesn’t have a cover. Cooking it at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes per pound should do the trick, depending on the type of ham (whole or half, bone-in or no bone these. To reheat: Let the ham come to room temperature (about 90 minutes). Ones that say “with natural juices” didn’t have brine injected into them. If you have your own special glaze you like to make, be sure to check the packaging to make sure it isn’t already glazed. Some are already glazed some come with a package to make a glaze from, to make the Easter Ham fool-proof (some wags say “thought proof”) from oven reheating to table serving. You can get them thickly or thinly sliced. ![]() Most are bone-in, but you can get boneless. Half a ham will be 7 to 10 pounds (3 to 4 ½ kg.) The hams are sliced on special cutting machines that spin the ham against a blade in a spiral fashion, cutting it almost to the centre and making thin slices, without going all the way through or detaching the slices. It is more expensive than other already-cooked whole hams because the slicing has been done, making it very easy to serve and “carve” at the table. You also dont have to turn your oven to a high temp.only 325F. Spiral-Sliced Ham is a whole brined already-cooked ham that is sold already sliced, but sliced in such a fashion that the ham stays together for baking and presentation. Remove all packaging (rinse off glaze if desired) and place the ham, cut side down on a sheet (or 2) of heavy duty. I also noticed that the ham didnt take as long to bake as I thought it would. ![]()
