Recieved my Christmas Ham from my company and plan on cooking it for Christmas Eve when the wife's family comes over. How do you guys prepare your ham? It's a 9 lb spiral sliced ham from Burgers' Smokehouse. It also came with a honey glaze.

TIA

NO GLAZE!!!!!

Ham's are supposed to be salty and smokey, not sweet.

Serve the glaze on the side if you think people might want some, or maybe only glaze half the ham, if possible.

I think he is asking how to prepare the ham not where to place it on the table. The spiraled hams are pretty much done when you get them. All you really need to do is heat it up in the oven. 350 degrees covered with aluminum foil and a some coca cola or something for moisture. Glaze it you want to.

If it's a bone in aged country ham sometimes you need to soak it in water the night before if you're going to roast it. I prefer to leave the older aged hams alone and slice thin like prosciutto.

A spiral sliced ham just needs to be heated through. It's already cooked. I would suggest letting it sit out on the counter for awhile so it's not ice cold going into the oven. Burgers site has instructional PDFs (see link) for their products. You have a relatively small ham so it shouldn't take too long. Glaze is a matter of personal preference; I like ham just the way it is others think it's "gross" without some type of sweet sticky glaze.

We received an unsliced, unglazed ham. I know I've baked one sometime in the history of my life, just don't recall when or how. And it's big, but I don't think there's a weight on this thing (no label).

I've done Tom Fitzmorris's Root Beer Glazed Ham many times with whole smoked or baked hams. I like it a lot. I double the sauce.

I use a doubled large foil pan because the glaze is sticky.
