Bake the Ham
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake for about 2 hours, basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes.

Finish Cooking
Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of baking to allow the ham to caramelize. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C).

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
