My goodness, a 24 hour ham cook...bold move.

That's something I have never done - what oven temp in F are you using?

Also, please post a pic of the results.

"Put carefully into the oven and let it cook for 30 minutes, then turn 
the oven down to 100°C/80°C Fan/gas mark ¼/200°F and leave for a further 
12–24 hours.

The following day, take the gammon out of the oven and open up the foil 
seal. It will have made some liquid, which you can reserve to moisten 
the carved meat later. Carefully lift the gammon out onto a board, snip 
and remove the string, and peel off the rind to leave a good layer of fat.

Increase the oven temperature to 200°C/180°C Fan/gas mark 6/400ºF. Using 
a sharp knife, cut a diamond pattern in the fat layer, drawing lines one 
way and then the opposite way, about 2cm/¾-inch apart.

Stud the centre of each diamond with a clove, then mix together the 
black treacle, demerara sugar and Dijon mustard in a bowl and spread 
over the fat on the ham. It will dribble off a bit, so just spoon it 
back over the gammon before putting back in the oven for 20 minutes, by 
which time the glaze will be burnished and blistered in the heat. Remove 
from the oven, and transfer to a board. Let it rest for 10–20minutes 
before carving into thin slices."
