1. Make sure the ham is at room temperature before you begin.
2. Slice the ham thinly and spread it out on a platter or baking sheet so that it can be easily seen by your guests.
3. If desired, add some glaze, such as honey mustard or apricot preserves, to give the ham a shiny finish.
4. Place toothpicks around the ham for easy serving.
5. If you're going to be serving the ham cold, make sure to wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator several hours ahead of time.
