Servings: 25 as part of a buffet, with leftovers.

If you opt for a half-ham, buy the shank end — the meat contains less fat and gristle; for all size hams, figure about 25 min. per pound.

    I don’t love ham; slow-cooked, this was the best ham I’ve ever eaten. Way to go Fine Cooking. Thanks.

    Simple and perfect - juicy and tasty! You can glaze it if you want, but it's not necessary.

    We received a free 11.5 lb. smoked ham water added 23%. Although skeptical about this easy cooking method, followed it exactly. We had 11 people, so I cut most of the ham (thinking however it would be too much). All of the ham was gone quickly and people raved about it and wanted to know what type of ham. They were surprised.
