Cooking Time: 75 minutes

Ingredients

• 8 Pounds (lb) spiral cut bone-in cured ham
• 1.5 Cups ketchup
• 1 Cup brown sugar, packed

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place the spiral-cut ham in a baking dish or roasting pan with the flattest side down to ensure even cooking.
3. Generously cover the entire surface of the ham with ketchup, ensuring it is evenly coated.
4. Using your hands, pack the brown sugar onto the ketchup-covered ham, pressing gently to adhere the sugar to the surface.
5. Loosely cover the ham with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning while allowing the glaze to caramelize.
6. Bake the ham in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour, or until it is heated through and the sugar has caramelized to a golden-brown crust.
7. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful serving.
8. Serve the ham warm, and enjoy the delightful blend of tangy, sweet, and smoky flavors.
