In this regard, is a pit ham fully cooked?
Answer: A pit ham has been internally trimmed to remove the bone and much of the fat, while leaving the marbling for flavor. Please note that these directions are for a Fully Cooked Pit Ham. Farmland Hams, for example, are fully cooked and may be served cold.
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place the ham on a rack in a large baking pan and add about 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch of water to the pan. If the ham is labeled 'fully cooked' (does not require heating), heat it in the oven for about 10 minutes per pound, or to an internal temperature of 140 F.
