I bought one of these little beauties from Aldi the other day to bake for Sunday dinner this weekend. The label directions aren't real specific, so I was wondering if you can bake these in the gold foil, or would it be best to remove it? It comes with a packet of brown sugar glaze, which I know gets added to the end of baking. But couldn't you add some of the glaze before baking as well? I'd like the ham to get a nice brown sugar crust on it. Perhaps add some before popping in the oven and then the rest the last half hour?
But my main question is about the foil. Normally when I purchase hams, they're in plastic that I remove and I just toss the ham into a roaster, rub it down with some honey and/or brown sugar or pineapple slices, whichever I'm using at the time, cover with aluminum foil, then pop into the oven. However, I've never purchased a ham that comes in its own foil before, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to remove it.
