   Rub the ham all over with the Dijon mustard, making sure to get into the scored cuts.

8. 8
   Cover the ham with aluminum foil.
9. 9
   Roast the ham for about 2 1/2 hours, basting it every 20 minutes with the caramelizing glaze, until it is nice and brown.
10. 10
    As the scored cuts open, be sure to baste often, brushing with the glaze.

    Add more water if needed to prevent the glaze from burning.
