Notes
The general rule is to cook ham for 12-15 minutes per pound. This 7 pound ham took a little less than 2 hours. I started glazing it after 1 hour. Larger hams will take more time.
If you want more sauce, add about 1/2 inch of water or Dr Pepper to the bottom of the roasting pan.
You can sub Coke or a different soda pop, but be sure to use regular and not diet, as you want the sugar for the glaze.
