Method
 

  1. Take the ham out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Heat the oven to 325F.
  2. Set the ham in a roasting pan or baking dish, flat side down. With a sharp knife, score the top in a diamond pattern about 1/4 inch deep. Pour the water into the pan and cover the pan tightly with foil.
  3. Warm the ham covered for 40 to 50 minutes, until a thermometer in the center reads about 125F.
  4. While it warms, whisk the honey, Dijon, orange zest, orange juice, cloves, and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Take off the foil and turn the oven up to 400F. Brush about half the glaze all over the ham, working it into the cuts.
  6. Return the ham to the oven uncovered for 10 minutes. Brush on the rest of the glaze and cook 5 to 10 minutes more, until the glaze is sticky and browned at the edges and the center reads 140F.
  7. Let the ham rest 10 minutes, then slice it thin across the grain. Spoon any glaze and juices from the pan over the slices.

Notes

Honey browns fast, so the glaze only goes on for the last 15 to 20 minutes. For a bone-in spiral ham of 7 to 8 pounds, double the glaze, warm it covered at 325F for about 12 minutes per pound to 125F, then glaze and finish as written. Nutrition is calculated per serving from the listed ingredients; ham brands vary a lot in sodium, so check your label.
