Preheat oven to 325°. Place the ham, fat side up on a rack in a large roasting pan. Using a small sharp knife, score the fat into diamonds and stud with the cloves. Pour 1 inch of hot water into the pan and bake, uncovered, 1-3/4 hours for a 12 pound ham, 2-1/4 hours for a 16 pound ham. While the ham is baking mix the remaining ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Remove the ham from the oven with a sharp pointed knife, carefully remove the tough skin from the shank end. Using a spatula, spread the glaze over the ham. Continue baking 30 minutes longer or until the outside is browned and glazed. Transfer to a warm platter; remove the cloves and let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
