Glaze the Ham
Brush the glaze generously over the scored surface of the ham, making sure to get it into the cuts.

Add Water

Bake the Ham
Cover the ham loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes per pound. Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
