Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a shallow roasting pan and its rack with non-stick cooking spray.
Add 1 c. water and half of the orange slices to the prepared pan.
Place ham on a cutting board; lightly score the ham in a diamond pattern with a sharp knife, no deeper than 3/4 inch. Push cloves into the centers of the diamonds.
Transfer the ham ham to the roasting rack; tent with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, while ham is baking, make the glaze in a medium saucepan, bring remaining ingredients and orange slices to a slow boil over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 2–5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly.
Remove ham from the oven; brush all over with the glaze. Replace foil; bake 2 hours, brushing on more glaze every 20 minutes.
Remove ham from oven; discard foil; increase oven heat to broil.
Brush with the glaze; broil until the glaze has caramelized, 3–5 minutes.
Remove ham from the oven. Let ham rest 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve, garnished with orange slices, rosemary and the remaining glaze.
