With a sharp knife, make shallow, quarter inch deep, diagonal cuts along the surface of the ham.
When scoring the outside fat layer, try to minimize cutting into the meat beneath the fat.
Then, make diagonal cuts in the opposite direction, forming diamond shapes in the fat layer.
Place ham in a roasting pan large enough to contain it and the juices that will result from cooking.
Spread half of the glaze over the entire ham and roast for 15 minutes, uncovered.
Remove the ham from the oven, baste with remain glaze and continue to roast for another 15 minutes.
Let ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
