In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, until the sugar dissolves and the glaze thickens slightly.

Place the glazed ham in a roasting pan and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes per pound, or until the ham is heated through and the glaze is golden brown and bubbly.

While the ham bakes, brush it occasionally with the reserved glaze to keep it moist and prevent burning.

Once the ham is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.
