- Remove foil paper. Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
- If possible, flip the ham on it’s side, so spiral parts ends up on top. glaze generously all over. Make sure gets in between slices. Flip back over so flat side down. Add more glaze and then transfer back into oven.
- Repeat the glazing after 10 minutes. Repeat one more time. Remove the ham from the oven. Tent loosely with foil paper and let sit for 25-30 minutes before serving.
