The ham is already seasoned, so no additional seasoning is necessary. Place the ham in a roasting pan and roast in a preheated oven at 225°C for about 20-30 minutes. Add enough water to reach a depth of about 1 cm and continue roasting at 150-160°C for about 3.5 hours, basting frequently. Add a little more water if it evaporates too much. Finally, roast for another 10-15 minutes at 200°C. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. The cooking time depends on the quality of the meat and the temperature your home oven actually reaches. It’s best to use a meat thermometer. The cooking liquid can be used to make a sauce the next day. Leftovers can be frozen, or eaten, with or without the sauce.
