Heat and glaze a precooked ham by first preheating your oven to 325°F. Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan with water at the bottom. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 18-20 minutes per pound. To glaze, remove the foil 30 minutes before the ham is done, apply your chosen glaze, and return to the oven uncovered. For a caramelized surface, broil on high for 3-5 minutes, keeping a close watch to avoid burning.
