Notes

You can also add a dash of bourbon or maple syrup to the glaze for extra flavor.
Be sure to brush the ham with the glaze every 15-20 minutes to prevent it from drying out.
If the ham starts to get too brown, cover it with foil.
Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
