Let ham rest for about 20 minutes before carving. (20 minutes)
Ensure the ham is fully defrosted before baking for even cooking.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of pineapple juice or apple cider to the water in the roasting pan.
If the brown sugar glaze starts to darken too quickly, tent the ham with foil during the last hour of baking.
Use the leftover ham bone to make a hearty and flavorful soup.
