1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position; preheat oven to 325°. Place ham on rack in large roasting pan; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Pour 2 cups water into pan; loosely cover ham with aluminum foil and bake 1 hour or until internal temperature reaches 90°.
2. In medium bowl, whisk honey, 1/4 cup brown sugar, butter, orange zest, crushed red pepper, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.
