See RecipeTo prevent drying out, cook your ham at a low temperature and use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking. Basting the ham with its juices or a glaze can also help keep it moist.
Covering your ham with foil during the majority of the baking time helps retain moisture. Uncover it in the last 15-20 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
Incorporate flavor by applying a glaze, using a spice rub, or injecting the ham with a marinade. Basting frequently during cooking also helps to enhance the flavor.
Beyond traditional honey or brown sugar glazes, consider using ingredients like maple syrup, mustard, bourbon, balsamic vinegar, or fruit preserves for a unique twist.
Leftover ham is versatile and can be used in sandwiches, omelets, salads, soups, casseroles, and more. It's a great way to extend the enjoyment of your Easter feast.
