   Place the spiral ham in a roasting pan and pour half of the prepared glaze over it. Use a brush to ensure the glaze gets between the slices and coats the ham evenly.

   Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar over the top of the glazed ham.

7. 7

   Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.

8. 8

   Bake the ham for approximately 2 to 2.5 hours (calculating about 15 minutes per pound). Baste the ham with the pan juices and glaze every 20-30 minutes during the cooking process.
