This really depends on the type of ham you have.... The length of time a ham will have to cook will depend on the size of the ham and whether it is a fully cooked, partially cooked, or uncooked ham and whether it is bone-in or boneless. The best way to determine if the meat has cooked long enough is to check for doneness. It is important not to overcook the ham to maintain its juiciness.

If it is not a fully cooked ham, it also needs to be cooked to the proper doneness to make it safe to eat. If you have a cooked or smoked ham with or with out the bone in you just need to heat it. Heat your oven to 325.15 minutes per pound should do it.

The internal temp should reach 135 degrees and 140 after it has rested. If you have a fresh ham it will take 25 -30 minutes per pound. The internal temp should be 155-165 and reach 160 -170 after resting.As for traditional I would go with a Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze.

This is a good recipe, but there are many others out there.2 cups unsweetened apple juice 1 cup whole grain Dijon mustard 1 1/3 cup packed golden brown sugar 1/2 cup honey Place ham in large roasting pan. Pour apple juice over ham. Cover completely with heavy-duty foil, sealing tightly at edges of pan.

Bake ham until thermometer inserted into center of ham registers 145 degrees. Remove ham from oven. Increase oven temperature to 375.

Remove foil and parchment from ham. Drain and discard liquids from roasting pan. Cut off rind and all but 1/4-inch-thick layer of fat from ham and discard.

Using long sharp knife, score fat in 1-inch-wide, 1/4-inch-deep diamond pattern. Spread mustard evenly over fat layer on ham. Pat brown sugar over mustard coating, pressing firmly to adhere.

Drizzle honey evenly over. Bake until ham is well glazed, spooning any mustard and sugar glaze that slides into roasting pan back over ham, about 30 minutes. Transfer ham to serving platter; let cool at least 45 minutes..

You are not cooking the meat, but re-heating it, so the time will be different from a turkey that must cook. Has an interesting recipe for re-heating the thing in a pan of sweetened broth, and that recipe totals five hours. Has recipe I'm not pasting here because it's a tad complicated, but it's for reheating the ham from cold.

And in both cases, the thing is already cooked.
