How to Cook a Boneless Ham
Hams are available in an array of styles: bone-in or boneless; canned or vacuum sealed; smoked or cured; fully cooked or ready-to-cook. A precooked boneless ham can be served cold, but if you choose to warm it, the ham must be heated all the way through. If you want to add a glaze or sauce, wait until the meat is in its last hour of cooking. Does this Spark an idea?

The result of the ham I made was a success. But I can"t collect much glazed sauce for which is also important as some would like to add more on the sliced meat. Is there a separate recipe for the glazed sauce?
