  • Return the ham to the oven, uncovered. Then continue to baste every 10 minutes for another ½ hour and right before slicing and serving.

Notes

Wrap the ham well as soon as possible after serving.  Do not let it sit at room temperature for more than 2 hours.  You may keep it for up to 4 days in the fridge or for up to 2 months in the freezer.
