Leftover ham is basically refrigerator gold. The ham on the outside will fall away inВ slices. Just turn the ham on its bottom and cut around the bone. It might sound tough to cut into a bone-in ham, but itвЂ™s actually very easy. Simply cook on low for 4 to 5 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours, basting with the marinade every 45 minutes. Uncover it in the last 30 minutes when youвЂ™re glazing it, so those edges get caramelized.В Another way to ensure your ham stays moist is to cook it in a slow cooker. Bake only until itвЂ™s 140В° in the center (this should take 10 toВ 12 minutes per pound). To avoid drying it out, add water to the bottom of your roasting pan, place the ham on a baking rack above the water, and cover it with foil. Since spiral hams are already cooked, youвЂ™re really just warming it through, infusing it with flavor, and crisping the edges. We think itвЂ™s bomb, but if youвЂ™re not a fan of bourbon, try this classic brown sugar glaze instead. Our recipe below uses only a handful of pantry ingredients and a mixing bowl. Making your own glaze is super easy, and so much more delicious than a store-bought packet.
