Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 x 9 Pound Hickory Smoked Ham Shank Portion
2 Cups (500 ml) Root Beer, Divided
3 Tbsp (45 ml) Pure Natural Liquid Honey
1 Tbsp (15 ml) Candied Ginger, Finely Chopped
1 Tsp. (5 ml) Whole Cloves
3 Tbsp (45 ml) Lightly Packed Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp (30 ml) Original Dijon Prepared Mustard
1/4 Tsp, (1 ml) Each Salt and Pepper
Directions:
Directions:
1 - Preheat oven to 350ºF. Set ham on a rack in a foil-lined roasting pan. Add 1/4 cups (300 ml) root beer to pan, making sure ham is not sitting in root beer. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
2 - Meanwhile, combine remaining root beer in a saucepan with honey and ginger. Simmer until syrupy, about 10 minutes. Set glaze aside.
3 - Remove ham from oven and cut off and discard skin to expose layer of fat underneath. Score a diamond pattern into fat, but do not cut into meat. Stud each diamond with a clove.
4 - Mix together brown sugar, mustard, salt and pepper. Spread mixture evenly over ham. Then pour root beer glaze over the ham using a brush to push it into the score marks. Return ham to oven and bake, uncovered, for 1 hour basting twice with pan juices, until a meat thermometer reads 160ºF and the ham is shiny, golden brown. Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil and let rest 15 minutes. Baste again with pan juices before slicing and serving.
