Start by prepping your ham. Remove your ham from the fridge 2 hours before cooking. If your ham still has its skin on, carefully peel the skin away from the ham, leaving the layer of fat underneath intact and exposed. Using a sharp knife, score a 1" diamond pattern into the ham 1/4" deep.

Preheat an oven to 350 F. Pour 2 cups of water into the bottom of a roasting pan with the rack set in the pan.

Place the ham, cut side down, in the rack and loosely cover with foil. Roast for 45 minutes.

While the ham roasts, combine all the remaining ingredients except for the butter, in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer while whisking to combine. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat. Whisk in the butter until the sauce is glossy and set aside.

Remove the ham from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 F. Brush the ham liberally all over with 1/4 of the glaze. Return to the oven for 15 minutes. Cook the ham for 60-75 minutes, brushing with more glaze every 15 minutes. Once the ham has reached an internal temperature of 150 F, remove from the oven.

Let the ham rest for 30 minutes before slicing.
