Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with a rack in lower third. Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Trim 1/4 inch off root end of each onion, then cook onions in pot until just beginning to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to ice-water bath, slip off skins, and cut into quarters. (Quartered onions can be refrigerated up to 2 days.)
- Stir together molasses, brown sugar, honey, mustard, allspice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place ham in a large roasting pan, cut-side down; baste generously with glaze. Scatter onions around ham and pour in 1/2 cup water.
- Cover ham with parchment-lined foil; roast until a thermometer inserted into thickest part (not touching bone) reads 125 degrees, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes. Uncover, baste with more glaze, and return to oven. Increase heat to 400 degrees and roast, basting and rotating pan once, until outside is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter; tent with foil.

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients but the ham in a small bowl.
- Grill the ham, turning one time.
- Brush frequently with the molasses sauce.
- Grill about 6-8 minutes, until light brown.
- (This could be broiled.).
Tips:
- Use a good quality molasses. A dark, robust molasses will give the glaze a richer flavor.
- Don't boil the glaze. Boiling will make the glaze thick and syrupy. Instead, bring it to a simmer and then remove it from the heat.
- Let the glaze cool slightly before brushing it on the ham. This will help the glaze to adhere to the ham better.
- Brush the glaze on the ham several times during the baking process. This will help to keep the ham moist and flavorful.
- If you don't have any molasses, you can substitute brown sugar or honey.
Conclusion:
A molasses glaze is a simple but delicious way to add flavor and moisture to your holiday ham. With just a few ingredients, you can create a glaze that will make your ham the star of the show. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just a weeknight dinner, a molasses glaze is sure to please everyone at the table.
