Notes
- Skip the scoring: Since the ham is already cooked, there’s no need to score the surface, just brush on the glaze for even coverage.
- Use a fully cooked ham: This recipe is designed for a pre-cooked ham, so the goal is reheating and glazing rather than cooking the meat from raw.
- Keep it covered first: Covering the ham with foil during the first part of baking helps prevent it from drying out.
- Uncover to caramelize: Removing the foil toward the end allows the maple glaze to thicken and develop a glossy, caramelized finish.
- Baste for even flavor: Brushing the ham with glaze as it bakes helps build layers of flavor without burning.
- Serving suggestions: Serve with Mashed Butternut Squash or pair with Garlic Herb Mashed Potatoes for a balanced, holiday-friendly meal.
