Always Juicy Baked Ham with Sweet-Tangy Glaze

Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 200 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients of beer, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard, whisking them together until smooth.

Place the ham cut-side up in a spacious roasting dish; pour the beer mixture over the top of the ham, making sure it's fully coated.

Put the ham in the preheated oven and let it cook until it starts to develop a rich, caramelized crust on the bottom, approximately 15 minutes, during which time you should baste it 4 to 5 times.

Reduce the oven temperature to a moderate level of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric). Cover the roasting pan with a lid or aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Continue cooking until the ham is heated through, taking around 90 minutes longer, during which time you should baste it frequently.

Remove the lid and let the ham cook for an additional 15 minutes, allowing it to develop a perfectly golden-brown crust. Finally, allow the ham to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
