- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Score the ham's surface in a crosshatch pattern about 1/4 inch deep.
- Stud the top of the ham with approximately 20 whole cloves and 4 bay leaves.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you reach a spreadable consistency.
- Place the ham in a large roasting pan.
- Spread the mustard mixture evenly over the entire surface of the ham.
- Pour 1 cup of your favorite beer into the bottom of the roasting pan.
