- Preheat your oven to 325°F. Line a pan that is at least 2 inches deep with Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil. Place the ham in the pan, cut side down, and tightly cover with foil.
- Cook the ham until your meat thermometer reads 145°F – about 2 to 2 1/2 hours for an 8-pound ham.
- Prep the glaze while the ham is cooking. Combine honey and crushed red peppers. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and reserve half of the mixture for serving.
- Brush your ham with remaining hot honey glaze every 15 minutes during the last hour of baking. Remove from oven and discard foil. Let ham rest for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked ham to a serving dish. Pour remaining hot honey on top. Dress the plate with red peppers, honeycombs and biscuits and serve immediately.
