1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Peel the skin from the ham and trim the fat, leaving a 1/4-inch layer.
3. Using the tip of a sharp knife, score the fat in a diamond pattern.
4. Insert the sliced garlic and rosemary sprigs into the scores on the ham.
5. Mix the sugar and mustard together and brush on the ham.
6. Place in a shallow roasting pan, add the liquid to the pan, and bake for 1 1/2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 140 to 150°F.

Tips:

Choose a fully cooked ham for the best results. A raw ham will not cook properly in the time allotted for this recipe.
Score the ham before baking to help the glaze penetrate the meat.
Use a sharp knife to score the ham. A dull knife will tear the meat.
Make sure the glaze is evenly distributed over the ham.
Bake the ham in a preheated oven to ensure even cooking.
Cover the ham with foil during baking to keep it moist.
Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.

This garlic baked ham is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any special occasion. With its crispy glaze and tender meat, this ham is sure to be a hit. Serve it with your favorite sides for a delicious and memorable meal.
