Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F and adjust a rack to the lower third position.
Set the ham in a baking dish with the cut side facing down, ensuring it has enough space around it and cover it securely with aluminum foil.
Roast the ham in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 135°F at its thickest point, which should take roughly 15 minutes per pound, totaling between 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
In the meantime, combine the mustard (if your Dijon is particularly strong, you might want to start with 2 tablespoons and adjust according to your preference), honey, and brown sugar in a small mixing bowl.
Once the ham has reached the appropriate temperature, increase the oven heat to 400°F. Remove the foil and generously brush the glaze over the ham, ensuring not too much glaze drips off. Continue roasting until the glaze is caramelized and bubbling, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Allow the ham to rest for 10 to 15 minutes prior to slicing and serving.
