- Place saute mixture in bottom of roasting pan and position ham with cut surface down on top of saute mixture. Cover with foil.
- Microwave honey glaze for 30 seconds until the glaze becomes thin and runny. CAUTION: Glaze will be very hot!
- Brush some of the glaze on the exterior of the ham.
- Put ham in the oven for 60-75 minutes brushing ham occasionally with additional glaze.
- Take ham from the oven, apply any remaining glaze, cover with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
