Place the scored ham in a large roasting pan with the cut side facing down. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 300°F for 1 1/2 hours.
While the ham is cooking, whisk the glaze ingredients together: brown sugar, apricot jam, Dijon mustard, and black pepper. Here is where you can get creative and use your favorite jam, chutney, honey, or mustard.
Once the ham has cooked for 1 1/2 hours, take it out and brush on a hefty coat of this sweet and tangy glaze. Add 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Bake uncovered until the internal temperature of the ham is 140ºF. Continue brushing with glaze every 30 minutes until the ham is cooked all the way through.
When the ham is hot enough, take it out of the oven and let it rest for 20 minutes before carving. Then carve and serve using a carving knife and fork.
