Answer

There is no way to answer that question. There are too many variable, such as: How well does your oven hold heat?, What temperature was the ham when it went into the oven?, What shape is the ham?, etc. So, here is what you do: Go to a kitchen store, and buy a probe thermometer. This is a thermometer that has a long probe that stays in the meat with a long wire that runs to a digital readout outside the oven. Then, you put the probe in the center of the meat and cook at 325 degrees until the thermometer reads 140 degrees, then pull your ham out of the oven, rest for 20 minutes covered in foil in the countertop, then, slice and serve.
