Score the ham about 1/4 inch deep in a diamond pattern.

Place the scored ham on a roasting rack.

Baste the ham with the glaze.

Arrange pineapple rings around the ham and secure them with toothpicks.

Pour water into the bottom of the roasting rack.

Cover the ham with tin foil and bake at 350°F until the internal temperature reaches 120°F.

Remove the foil and baste the ham again with the glaze.

Return the ham to the oven without foil until it reaches an internal temperature of 150°F.

Turn on the broiler and pour the rest of the glaze over the ham, broil for a couple of minutes until browned.

Let the ham rest for about 15 minutes before carving.
