Place the ham on a roasting rack in a roasting pan with the fat-side up. Use a small knife to lightly score the fat in a crosshatch pattern, taking care not to cut into the meat. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for about 2 to 2 ? hours, or 15 minutes per pound.

With 30 minutes left of cooking, remove the ham from the oven. Brush a thick coat of the brown sugar-mustard glaze over the ham. Return to the oven, uncovered, to finish cooking until the internal temperature reaches about 145?F. Allow ham to rest for 10 minutes before carving and serve with the remaining glaze on the side, if desired.
