Ham

John Gaughan said:

I have a nine pound ham, spiral sliced, bone-in, brown sugar cured, fully cooked.

The label says to wrap it in foil and bake it in a pan for about two hours (based on its weight),
until 120 degrees F.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like you don't need suggestions. Why mess with a good thing?

Any suggestions? After brining and baking turkey with aeromatics

*Aero*matics? Wow! ;-)

I wonder what I could do to a ham to make it even better... oh, by the way, this will be my first
time baking a ham, so I am quite inexperienced when it comes to hams.

The label also has a recipe for a praline glaze to be applied during the final half hour of
cooking:

1 1/2 cups brown sugar 6 Tbsp butter, melted 8 Tbsp honey 1 cup pecans, finely chopped

Thoughts, suggestions?

I don't know there's much you can do to improve on ham unless you're curing it yourself. As it is, I
think the glaze you posted sounds quite nice. I think I would prefer that glaze to any of the ones
I've had (involving pineapple juice or orange and brown sugar) and I think I'm going to use it this
year. Thanks! I might leave some of the nuts whole, though. I like their texture better whole than
finely chopped.

I like ham served with cranberry sauce. Yum!

You won't be baking a ham, you'll be reheating a ham. Since it's already fully prepared by the
purveyer there's not much you can do to make it better other than perhaps putting some effort into
the presentation... I'd prepare and offer some interesting homemade breads and condiments; homemade
mustards and horseradish dressings, with ryes and pumpernickles... serve with assorted cheeses.

AS P-01 and Jill say, just heat the ham up and eat it. You shouldn't do anything other than applying
glaze. Precooked ham only needs to be heated to about 110F. Heat it up as little as possible so it
will dry less when you heat it up the second time, though with a spiral sliced ham you have to be
careful not to dry it out with repetitive heating. Happy Hol..... Kent

I am going to serve this with the mashed cauliflower recipe posted about a month ago, and probably
baked potatoes with butter, sour cream, cheese, chives, and crumbled bacon. Mmmm... bacon...
