A whole ham typically weighs more than 10 pounds. That's a large hunk to wrestle with in a roasting pan, which is why you'll find so many half hams (whole hams cut in half).

1 fully cooked 7-pound, bone-in, ham. ¼ cup whole cloves. GLAZE. 2 cups mango nectar. ¼ cup apricot preserves. 4 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger. 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel.

Heat ham, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says, until the center of the ham reaches 140 degrees, allowing 18 to 24 minutes per pound for half, bone-in hams and 10 to 15 minutes for boneless.

Remove ham to rest on a cutting board. Pour the remaining cooking liquid through a fine mesh sieve into a saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes or until slightly reduced.
