Easy Ham Recipe - How to Bake a Ham

A delicious ham turns any gathering into a special occasion. It's easy to prepare a ham, too. Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Next, insert a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the meat, making sure it's not touching bone, or you won't get an accurate temperature reading. Bake the ham in a 325-degree oven for about one hour and 45 minutes. While the ham is baking, make a flavorful glaze. When the baking time is up, remove the ham from the oven, and brush with some of the glaze. Bake the ham 30 minutes more, or until the thermometer reads 130 degrees and the ham is ready for carving.
