Warm the ham to room temperature before heating. Tender Made Ham needs a short bake at 350 F, 5 minutes per pound. For bone in ham use water or apricot juice, remove skin and score fat 15 minutes before done, dot with cloves, and baste with honey. Return to 450 F for 30 minutes, add more honey and baste.
