How Long to Bake a 10 Pound Fully Cooked Ham

Glazed ham is one of the most classic holiday mains, and nailing it is way easier than you'd think. The key is keeping it moist and adding lots of flavor. Follow our tips and you'll be on your way to ham perfection in no time.

How do I make the glaze?

Occasionally when you buy a ham, it'll come with a packet of glaze. Not needed! It's so easy to make your own and way more delicious. One bowl and lots of flavorful pantry staples is all you need. The below recipe is bomb. But if you're not a bourbon fan, try this classic brown sugar ham glaze instead.

Since the ham is already cooked, will it dry out when I bake it again?

Since spiral hams are already fully cooked, you basically just want to warm it through, infuse it with flavor, and crisp up the edges, all while avoiding drying it out. Stick to 10 to 12 minutes per pound. Place your ham in a deep, heavy pot and tent with foil. Bake to warm it through, then whenever you're ready to glaze (we like glazing every 30 minutes or so), remove the foil, and brush it all over.

How do I slice it?

Slicing a spiralized, bone-in ham can sound tough, but it's actually surprisingly easy: First, turn the ham so the bone is sticking straight up. Then, carve around it.

Can I cook it in a slow cooker?

Of course! Spiral ham lends itself very well to the slow cooker. Simply cook on low for 4 - 5 hours or on high for 2 - 3, basting with the marinade every 45 minutes or so.

What can I do with the bone?

The bone of a spiraled ham can be used to flavor broth, soups (like split pea!), or cooked greens.

1. Remove ham from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350°. Place a rack in a large roasting pan and cover the rack with foil. Pour 2 cups water in the bottom of roasting pan and place ham on the foil on the rack.
3. In a small bowl, stir together jam, brown sugar, bourbon, Dijon, and red pepper flakes. Brush ham with some of the glaze and roast, basting with more glaze every 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 140°, about 1 ½ to 2 hours.
