![]() ![]() You’ll want to keep an eye on your ham after you glaze it and stick it back in the oven because the glaze can quickly start to caramelize and drip and burn on the bottom of your roasting pan. That wasn’t a big deal because the ham is sold already fully cooked, but it just meant the ham wasn’t quite a hot as it could have been. If I buy a Trader Joe’s ham again (which I very well might because my family and I all loved it), I will probably allow some extra oven time beyond what the directions indicate because my ham wasn’t quite up to the recommended 120 degrees internally. At that point, the rest of my meal was ready and I didn’t want things to get cold, so I pulled the ham, glazed it, and returned it to the oven for a few minutes to crystalize the glaze. ![]() My 4.1-pound ham took about one hour and 10 minutes in the oven to reach about 105 degrees. Allow the ham to cool to the desired serving temperature. Heat the ham for 7-10 minutes or until the glaze is crystalized. Once the glaze has been applied to the whole ham, place it into the preheated oven uncovered. Baste the warmed ham with the previously prepared and cooled glaze. To glaze the ham you’ve already warmed, bump the oven temperature up to 450 degrees. Stir the mixture continuously until the entire spice packet has dissolved into the water. Place the saucepan onto a stove top burner set to medium heat. To make the glaze, take a small saucepan and combine the glaze packet contents with 1/8 cup of water. The ham includes a powdered glaze packet that has cane sugar, spices, and canola oil. For my 4.1-pound ham, that meant baking it for about 50 to 61 minutes. (I covered my ham with foil.) Heat the ham for 12-15 minutes per pound (to approximately 120 degrees internal temperature), or until the desired temperature is reached. Then, take a deep roasting pan and place the ham face down, and then cover. It still states to preheat the oven to 275 degrees. My ham also came with more detailed directions inside the packaging. That comes out to a little over an hour for Trader Joe’s quarter hams, which are 4 to 4.5 pounds each, or about two hours for Trader Joe’s half hams, which are 8 to 9 pounds. Put the ham in a roasting pan and heat for 12-15 minutes per pound. The TJ’s Fearless Flyer says that to warm the ham, preheat your oven to 275 degrees.
