Preheat oven to 325. Place ham, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of ham away from fat or bone. Roast ham in oven about 3 hours.

Prepare Sweet and Spicy Glaze. Remove ham from oven. Generously brush half of glaze over ham; bake 30 minutes longer or until meat thermometer registers 160 degrees. Remove ham from oven and brush with remaining glaze. Let ham stand about 20 minutes before slicing.
