According to the USDA site (link below):

Cut Weight (lbs) Minutes per lb

Whole leg, bone-in 12 to 16 lb. = 22 to 26 minutes per lb.

Whole leg, boneless 10 to 14 lb = 24 to 28 minutes per lb.

Half, bone-in 5 to 8 lb = 35 to 40 minutes per lb.

Cooking by Temperature Most cookbooks recommend cooking by temperature, and this varies depending on the recipe. One for an apricot-glazed ham at 5 to 7 lbs : 325 °F oven for 1 3/4 hour to 2 1/4 hours or until the thermometer reads 140 °F. Adjusting The Final Temperature At the rarest, cook to 140 °F. (bacteria are killed at a lower temp) For a fresh ham it is 22 to 24 minutes per pound. Keeping in mind that your meat will continue to cook for another 10 minutes or so after you take it out of the oven, you can take it out about 5 °F below what you want the internal temp to be. The other thing is that the outside of the roast will cook more so if the internal temp is a little low that will work because you will in all likelihood cook the rest again. Cook it slowly to minimize uneven cooking (preferably 325 °F). Also, a fresh ham is just a fancy way of saying that it is the same cut of meat as a smoked ham but is not seasoned, brined, or smoked.

multiply the weight of the ham in pounds and cook 18 minutes per pound. so a 4 lb ham at 18 minutes would be 4x 18=72 minutes divided by 60 (minues in an hour) with total time is 1 hour and 20 min.

How long do you bake a fresh ham 22lb bone in with sauerkraut?

On 450 degress, about 4 hours. Ham of that size take a very long time. SURROUND IT IN FOIL!!!!!!!!!!! Bake at 325 degrees for about 3 til 4 hours checking it periodically to make sure it's not drying out. Cover ham with tin foil. I always like to marinate my ham with Liquid Smoke & honey on ham & it always turns out very juicy & delicious. Last year I decided to do a test just to see what would happen if I baked a ham at 20 minutes per pound, needless to say the ham was so dry it was pathetic, DO NOT BAKE HAM FOR 20 MIN PER POUND. This was a test to prove some people wrong & once again I was right on how long a ham should bake.
