To cook Publix Hickory Hardwood Smoked Ham, preheat your oven to 325°F, place the ham in a roasting pan, and heat it for about 10-15 minutes per pound until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
Start by removing any packaging from the ham. If it has a glaze packet, set that aside for later use.
Place the ham cut-side down in the roasting pan. This helps keep it moist while cooking.
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil. This prevents it from drying out during the heating process.
Bake it in the preheated oven. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer after about 1 hour.
If you have a glaze, you can apply it during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This will give the ham a nice caramelized finish.
Once the internal temperature reaches 140°F, remove it from the oven. Let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
Serve it warm and enjoy the rich, smoky flavor of your Publix Hickory Hardwood Smoked Ham.
