Coca-Cola Ham

ham
Coke Classic — not Diet
light brown sugar — 1 to 2 cups

1) I buy a boneless ham (but you could use bone-in or spiral cut if you want).

2) Then, I take a 9 x 13″ pan and line it with aluminum foil. Let enough foil hang over the sides of the pan so that when the ham’s in the pan, you can bring the foil up over the ham and seal it. (This step just keeps the ham more moist and helps with clean-up later.) Put the ham in the pan. Score the ham. (Skip the scoring if you’re using a spiral cut ham.)

3) For the glaze, I put 1 or 2 cups of light brown sugar in a bowl. You don’t have to be precise. You can’t mess it up! Then, to that, add enough Classic Coke (not diet!!) to make a thick “syrup.”

4) Pour that over the ham. Bring the foil up over the ham and fold it to seal.

5) Put the ham in a 350 degree oven and bake 15 minutes for every pound. Every now and then you can unseal the foil and spoon some of the sauce up over the ham (I usually do), but you don’t have to if you don’t want.

6) At the end of the baking time, remove the ham from the oven and serve. Oh, and be sure to serve the sauce on the side. It makes a GREAT dipping sauce for the ham!!!!
