4 tablespoons unsalted butter 56g
½ cup brown sugar lightly packed / 105g
½ cup honey 170g
2 tablespoons sauce from chipotles in adobo I usually double this, because I like a little heat
3 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon minced garlic

Preheat oven to 325°F / 160°C.
Place ham on a rack inside of a roasting pan and add ½ cup water to the pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 1 ½ - 2 hours or until heated through.

In a small sauce pot, combine 4 tbsp. butter, ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup honey, 2 tbsp. sauce from chipotles, 3 tbsp. Dijon mustard and 1 tbsp. minced garlic. Whisk to combine.
Heat until boiling and sugar is dissolved. Let it boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
*Use a slightly larger pot than you think you'll need, in case it bubbles up. You do not want it to boil over.
When ham is heated through, remove it from the oven, take off the foil and raise oven temperature to 400°F / 200°C
Brush half of the glaze on the ham, making sure to get a bit in between the slices, and bake uncovered for 10 minutes. Brush remaining glaze on the ham and bake for another 10 minutes until glaze is caramelized. Let rest for 8 – 10 minutes before serving.

Keep a VERY close eye on the glaze once it begins to boil. You do not want it to get away from you and boil over. I suggest using a pot slightly larger than what you think you'll need.
Brown sugar and honey can burn, so keep an eye on your ham once you've glazed it.
