How to Warm a Honey Baked Ham
Learn how to serve and gently warm a fully cooked Honey Baked Ham without drying out the meat or melting the glaze. Includes tips for carving, storage, and leftovers.
Ingredients
- 8 pound Honey Baked Ham, spiral-sliced or boneless
Instructions
Chill or Room Temp
- Keep the ham refrigerated until ready to serve. Let it sit at room temperature for 30–45 minutes before carving.
To Carve
- The spiral-cut meat is already pre-sliced, so you just slip the knife between the layers and the slices almost fall away on their own.
To Heat Individual Slices (Optional)
- Skillet: Warm slices for 20–30 seconds over medium-low heat.
- Oven: Wrap slices in foil and heat at 275°F (135°C) for 10 minutes.
- Microwave: To microwave, place the slices in a single layer on a microwave-safe plate. Cover them with a damp paper towel. Heat in 30-second intervals, flipping the slices until they’re warmed through.
Storage
- Wrap leftover slices tightly or place them in an airtight container. Refrigerate for 3–5 days.
Freezing
- Portion slices, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, place in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 3 months.
