Note 2: Dark brown sugar can be used and you will have a more pronounced molasses flavor.

Note 3: Please be sure to use pure maple syrup and not pancake syrup. They are two different syrups.

Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes of roasting.

Refer to the USDA Ham chart for specific info regarding heating temperatures of ham.
