Chef's Notes
Preparing this majestic centerpiece a day in advance is the ultimate secret weapon for stress-free hosting, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully while keeping your oven free for other culinary delights.
Pro Tip
Always use a bone-in ham if you can find one; the bone not only retains incredible moisture during the reheating process, but it also provides you with the ultimate foundation for a legendary post-feast soup stock.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Beware the impatient cook who wraps the ham in tight plastic wrap straight out of the oven, only to wake up the next morning and find their entire glorious, sticky-sweet glaze completely melted and glued to the wrapper like modern art.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Oh, look at you, acting like a royal gourmand because you successfully moved a piece of meat from an oven to a fridge. Truly, the labor of a thousand peasants.
The Culinary Science
Leaving the cooked ham uncovered in the refrigerator allows the circulating air to dehydrate the surface proteins and sugars slightly, creating a micro-film that locks in juices and prevents the dreaded glaze-slipping sweat.
