Add butter, honey, brown sugar and mustard to a small pot. Melt over medium heat, then bring to a simmer. Once simmering, remove from heat. Cut the skin off the ham, leaving the layer of fat attached. Place the ham in a medium roasting dish. Score the top of the ham in a diamond cross-hatch pattern about 1cm deep.

Roast the ham for an initial 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, spoon over the rest of the butter glaze. Roast for a further 20 minutes, then remove from the oven and baste the ham with the drippings from the roasting dish. Roast for a further 40-60 minutes, basting the ham every 20 minutes, until the ham is sticky, glazed and caramelised.
