Ingredients
- 1 (5- to 6-lb.) fully cooked boneless spiral-cut ham
- 2 cups water ¼ inch in the roasting pan

Instructions
- Allow the ham to sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 300°F, place the ham in a roasting pan, and add water.
- Roast the ham for 12 to 15 minutes per pound until it reaches an internal temperature of 130°F.
- Mix the brown sugar, honey, mustard, cinnamon, and allspice to create the glaze.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425°F, apply one-third of the glaze, and roast for 10 minutes.

Notes
A bone-in ham can be used for enhanced flavor. This recipe is for fully cooked ham; raw ham requires longer cooking times. A slow cooker can be used for moist results, but broiling is necessary for a caramelized crust.
