Recipe
Place ham fat-side up in a shallow pan. Place onion and bay leaves
on top and sprinkle with sugar, parsley, ground cloves, and
pepper. Insert meat thermometer in thickest part of meat away from
the bone. Pour beer around ham. Cover pan tightly with foil. Bake at
350F degrees, basting ever 30 minutes with beer in pan, until
thermometer registers 130F degrees, about 3 hours. Pour off
all drippings from pan, reserving 2 tablespoons. Mix the reserved
drippings with the brown sugar and honey and honey to make a
glaze. Remove bay leaves. With a sharp knife, remove any skin
from ham and score by making diagonal cuts in the fat 1/4-inch
deep and 1 1/4-inches apart to form a diamond pattern. Stud the
center of each diamond with a clove. Brush the surface of the
ham with half the glaze. Return the ham to a 400F degree oven and
bake 30 minutes longer, basting every 10 minutes with the
remainder of the glaze.
