Coca-Cola Ham Recipe
1 Ham
1 ½ cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
½ cup dry bread crumbs, very fine
12 ounces Coca-Cola
cloves
Cook your ham according to package directions until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees for a “cook before eating ham” or 140 degrees for a “ready to eat ham.”
When cool enough to handle, pull off the skin, cover the top of the ham with a mixture of the brown sugar, dry mustard, and bread crumbs. Score the ham, stud with cloves, pour the Coca-Cola around the ham, cover and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 35 minutes, basting from time to time with the liquid.
When it is done, let is set about 30 minutes before carving. If it is to be served cold later, cover with waxed paper and refrigerate. Cold ham slices better than hot.
A 15 lb. ham should serve about 30 people.
