Awesome Baked Ham
Is this a fully cooked ham or smoked or is it raw? Mine is raw and I need to know if I need to brine it.

That recipe is for a cured ham, which comes cooked, and all that is needed is reheating, with or without a glaze, etc.. If you have an uncured ham you must cook it as you would any raw pork roast. If you have a country ham it will require soaking in unsalted water and boiling before baking.

I just saw this yesterday, thought you might find it useful, as it calls for brining a FRESH, not cured, ham, if that's what you have. Had to find the thread first!
