Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Score the fatty side of the ham with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern, spacing the lines about 1 inch apart. Insert whole cloves at the intersections, if desired. Place the ham in a shallow roasting pan and cover with aluminum foil.
- Bake the ham in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes. About 10 minutes before the ham is finished, measure the apricot preserves into a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat until liquid, then remove from the heat and stir in the honey mustard.
- Brush the glaze onto the ham, and return to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the glaze is nicely browned. Let the ham stand for about 10 minutes before carving and serving.

Steps:
- If your ham needs soaking, do this the day before cooking. Put it in a large pan (a preserving pan is great for this). Cover the ham with cold water and leave to soak in the fridge for 24 hrs, changing the water twice.
- Pour away the soaking water and rinse the pan. Return the ham to the pan and add the ginger beer, bay leaves, allspice, peppercorns and 6 of the cloves. Top up the liquid with enough water to cover the ham. If the bone sticks out of the liquid, don't worry - just rotate the ham halfway through cooking. Put over a medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, then cover with a lid or a piece of foil. Leave to cook for 2½ hrs, topping up with water as it cooks.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. When the ham is cool enough to handle, discard the cooking liquid and pat the ham dry. Use a small, sharp knife to pare the rind away from the ham, leaving a layer of fat attached to the meat. Score the fat in a diamond pattern and stud all over with the remaining cloves. Put the ham in a roasting tin. Mix together the ginger and jam and brush the mixture over the ham. Roast for 1 hr until golden and glistening. Serve hot or cold.

Tips:
- To ensure a crispy glaze, pat the ham dry before baking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ham is cooked to the desired internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, or 150°F (66°C) for well-done.
- Allow the ham to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- For a sweeter glaze, add additional honey or brown sugar to taste.
- To add a tangy flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the glaze.
- For a smoky flavor, brush the ham with liquid smoke before baking.
- Serve the ham with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or your favorite sides.
