What’s the best way to bake a pre cooked ham?

Move the oven rack to the lowest position and preheat the oven to 350˚F. Bake the ham in the preheated oven, uncovered, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 140°, basting every 30 minutes with 1/2 cup of the glaze. Remove the ham from the oven and spoon the pan drippings over it.
