I do to keep it moist! This Christmas my ham was 8.44 lbs. I baked at 250 covered for 2 hours. I made a brown sugar glaze ( br sugar + a tiny bit of h20 -like 1 tsp + honey - glaze needs to be very thick!) The last 10 mins raise temp to 425. Cook ham packed with glaze uncovered for 10 mins. Take out, enjoy!
how to thaw a 1lbs spiral ham
your spiral ham probably says do not freeze because there might be a glaze that has come with it. also, hams, like most meats, are succeptible to freezer burn. if buying a ham, it is best to teat right away.
do not cook it is precooked. heat at 350 for 20 min/lb
Doesn't matter, its already cooked. If you aren't going to it it for a while you can freeze it to keep it fresh (as long as it is sealed) and take it out to reheat when ever you want to eat, repeating until its gone. I recommend slicing it before you freeze it for easy portions.
all precooked hams are labeled as precooked..just need heating... otherwise, an uncooked ham has a clear wrapping and is labeled as uncooked
well seeing that it says do not freeze i wouldnt think it would be very wise
Depends, but 5-8 lbs Jewel-Osco precooked Hormel ham 81 weigh 8-9 lbs if order from Deli meal for holidays.
Then cook it.
A precooked ham is already cooked and needs only to be heated to a desired temperature, if it is wanted to serve it hot. As a precooked item, it can be sliced and served cold.
ummm... just a wild guess here: Ham skin?
If it were me, I'd probably heat the precooked ham at 350º for about an hour. That'd be my best guess if I didn't have the instructions from the wrapper.
It is normal for a spiral ham to turn a pinkish gray color when it is cooked. Fresh hams turn a whitish gray color when they are cooked.
