Can you glaze a ham after its cooked?

How long do you cook a 12 pound ham?

Fresh ham cooking times vary greatly depending on the size. In a 325-degree oven, a 12-16 pound bone-in ham needs 22-26 minutes per pound. A 10-14 pound boneless ham needs 24-28 minutes per pound. And a 5-8 pound bone-in ham needs 35-40 minutes.

How do you keep ham moist?

Take the ham out of the oven when it's at 135-140 degrees, and it will get those extra couple degrees when it's resting. For the ham to be juicy, it needs some time to rest like any other piece of meat. Let it sit for about 20 minutes once it's out of the oven.
