    Good grace - those other answers are so dumb. I would think you would have most of the glaze sitting in you pan before you bake it - which is OK. I would recommend glazing before, and while the ham is baking.

    As much as a pain as it might be, I would remove the ham, empty the glaze into a sauce pan and return the ham to the cooking pan.

    Add to the sauce pan some white or apple cider vinegar to taste.

    A big ham like that is probably OK with being sweet tho - my opinion.

    You can try rinsing some of the Glaze OFF the Ham- with Warm Water... But That's about IT.

    the glaze HAS to be very strong :) because when u eat it ure gonna get a lot of plain flavor accompanied to a little bit of strong flavor and u need that to be balanced

    cut some off of the bottom and try it out and see if u like it, if its still strong then add some lemon juice or any type of acid all over it after u roast it to cut the strong flavor
