Baked Ham Recipe - How to Make Baked Ham | Allrecipes.com

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Place the 12 lb bon in ham flat side down into a large roasting pan.

Press whole cloves into the top of the ham at 1 to 2 inch intervals, using about 1/2 cup of whole cloves.

Pack the top of the ham with 1 cup of packed brown sugar.

Pour enough water into the bottom of the roasting pan to come up to a 1 inch depth.

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.

Bake the ham in the preheated oven for 4 and 1/2 to 5 hours, or about 22 minutes per pound.

Add water to the bottom of the pan as needed to keep the meat moist.

Check the internal temperature of the ham, which should read 160°F, ensuring the thermometer isn't touching the ham bone.

Let the ham rest for about 20 minutes before carving.
