Steps:
- Place the joint in a large pan over the hob, or burner, and add 7 quarts of dry ginger ale. Bring the pan to the boil then lower the heat slightly so that it keeps bubbling steadily for 4 1/2 hours.
- Towards the end of the 4 1/2 hours, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and begin the glaze.
- In a bowl, add 1 cup of chunky ginger preserves. Stir in 2 tablespoons of hot English mustard. Add 1/2 a cup of soft, dark brown sugar and sprinkle in 1/2 a teaspoon of ground cloves.
- After 4 1/2 hours, gently lift the ham out of the pan and place on a foil-lined baking tray. Carefully cut away the skin, leaving a thin layer of fat. There is no need to score the surface, simply slap on the glaze and place the tray with the ham into the oven for 20 minutes.
- Serve hot or cold.

Tips:
- To ensure your ham is evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for a medium-rare ham, 145°F (63°C) for a medium ham, or 150°F (66°C) for a well-done ham.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the ham by inserting a knife into the thickest part of the ham. If the juices run clear, the ham is done.
- Let the ham rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the ham, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the ham with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Ginger ale baked ham is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ham is tender and juicy, and the ginger ale glaze gives it a slightly sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
