Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

Put the ham in a large roasting pan, fat-side up.
3
Using a sharp knife, score the ham with cuts across the skin, about 2-inches apart and 1/2-inch deep.

Scatter the remaining sage leaves on top and stick the ham back in the oven and continue to cook for another 2 hours, basting with the pan juices every 30 minutes.
