   Score the top and sides of the ham with a small sharp knife in a crisscross pattern.

   Put the ham in the pan, pour 1/2 cup water or white wine into the bottom of the pan and bake, covered loosely with a tent of foil, 45 to 60 minutes.

4. 4

   To make the glaze, combine the preserves, horseradish, brown sugar, cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, salt, and lemon juice in a medium bowl.

5. 5

   Transfer the cherry mixture to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.

6. 6

   Boil until the glaze is slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

7. 7

   Remove from the heat; stir in the lemon zest.

8. 8

   Remove the ham from the oven and brush the top with 1/4 cup of the glaze.

9. 9

   Bake, uncovered, until the ham is hot and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 140 degrees F, about 20 minutes longer.

    Remove the ham from the oven to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

    Arrange the sliced ham on a serving platter and serve with the reserved glaze.
