FAQs

Is Boar's Head maple glazed honey coat ham already cooked? ›

Relax and enjoy a stress-free solution to holiday entertaining, Boar's Head Maple Honey Ham comes fully-cooked and is made with 100% pure maple syrup and golden honey baked right in.

In this case, you'll want to preheat your oven to 325 or 350 degrees F, then follow the directions on the package for how long to heat the ham before serving. The glaze should not be applied until the final hour to 30 minutes, in order to avoid burning the sugars.

If the ham is labeled "fully cooked" (does not require heating), heat it in the oven for about 10 minutes per pound, or to an internal temperature of 140 F. If the ham is labeled "cook before eating," heat in an oven set no lower than 325 F to an internal temperature of at least 145 F.

Full legs of ham range in weight from 7.5-9kg. If this is too big for your needs, opt for a half leg - 4.5-6.5kg. With a half leg you can choose either the shank end, which looks attractive, or the shoulder end, which typically has more tender meat.

Coat ham with glaze. Tent ham with aluminum foil, sealing edges tightly to pan. Bake at 325 degrees (F) for 15-20 minutes per pound. Remove ham from oven before it finishes baking and remove foil.

The thing with glazed ham is that it doesn't actually need to be cooked because it's already cooked. It's just about getting that glaze just right!

Whether you heat your spiral ham in the slow cooker or oven, all you have to do is open the glaze packet and apply it 30 minutes before your ham is finished cooking. By the time it's ready to serve, you'll have a satiny-glazed ham without any of the time or effort it takes to make a ham glaze.

Place ham, flat side down, on rack in shallow roasting pan; cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake approximately 13 to 18 minutes per pound until heated through. Remove ham from oven. Glaze as directed below or let stand, covered, 10 minutes before serving.

Top Tip: Just remove the rind and leave as much of the fat on as you can. Fat = sticky glaze! This part is easy – the skin WANTS to come off! Your ham will come with a thick, rubbery skin which is called the rind.

Cooking Temperature and Time

If the ham is a half ham weighing five to seven pounds, it should heat at 325°F for 22-25 minutes per pound. If it is a whole ham weighing between 10 to 14 pounds, heat the ham at 325°F for 18-20 minutes per pound. The internal temperature should be 140°F.

Do you rinse a precooked ham before cooking? ›

Whether you are cooking a bone in or boneless ham, pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees. Start by removing the packaging from the ham (and bone guard if you're cooking a bone in ham), and you can rinse the ham before cooking if desired.

First, you want to balance the sweetness with another flavor, such as a spice, herb, or citrus. Second, feel free to spike your glaze with some spirits—bourbon and rum are particularly nice—but don't add too much, because you don't want the glaze to be too liquidy.

Rump, Butt, Or Sirloin

The rump contains the femur and pelvic bone, which can be challenging to carve around. It is a more tender and flavorful cut of meat and can often be more expensive.

The butt end (the top half of the ham) has more tender, fattier meat, lending a richer flavor.

Boar's Head Cooked Uncured Ham is slow-cooked for a tender taste and pre-sliced in a resealable package for on-the-go convenience.

You can identify if the ham has been processed as the package will say what type of ham it is. If a ham has the statement on the package label indicating that it needs cooking (ex. “cook thoroughly”), it should also display cooking directions. It should clearly state that cooking is required.

The Honey Baked Hams® are fully cooked and ready to enjoy. Take the meat out of the refrigerator to stand for at least 30 min before serving. Refrigerate unused portions immediately. We recommend that you do not heat Honey Baked Hams® - they are made to enjoy right from the refrigerator.

Hams are either ready-to-eat or not. Ready-to-eat hams include prosciutto and cooked hams; they can be eaten right out of the package. Fresh hams and hams that are only treated to destroy trichinae (which may include heating, freezing or curing in the processing plant) must be cooked by the consumer before eating.
