You won't actually be cooking a Honey Baked Ham since they're pre-cooked! But reheating it to juicy perfection is an art form. Here's the key: Low and Slow. Reheat at a low temperature (around 275°F) to avoid drying it out. Baste it with glaze often for a caramelized, sticky perfection!
When I cook a Honey Baked Ham, I usually glaze it with a mix of honey, brown sugar, and mustard. This combo gives it a sweet and tangy crust that caramelizes beautifully in the oven. Make sure to baste it every 20 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful. The key is to cook it low and slow, around 275°F, until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F. Rest it for about 15 minutes before slicing to lock in the juices. Enjoy your delicious ham!
