<human>: What are some good tips for preparing a ham for a party?
<bot>: 
1. Start by selecting a ham that is at least one pound and has been cured properly to ensure it's safe to eat.
2. Preheat your oven to the lowest temperature recommended in the packaging instructions, usually around 350°F (177°C).
3. Place the ham on a roasting pan or baking sheet lined with foil.
4. Bake the ham for about 30 minutes per pound of ham, or until an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) is reached.
5. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
