Share:
Ingredients
- 8 - 10 lb bone-in ham spiral or regular cut (if making a larger ham, increase ingredients accordingly; if smaller, reduce slightly)
- ½ cup light or dark brown sugar packed
- ⅓ cup mustard yellow, dijon, grainy, country, brown -- whatever mustard you like! - I actually used a combo of dijon and yellow as I ran out of dijon
- ½ - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ cup bourbon or whiskey (optional) Replace with Apple Juice
- 12 oz Coca-Cola 1 bottle. The glass bottled kind, from Mexico, made with pure cane sugar, please no diet coke
Instructions
- Place rack in middle of oven, adjust rack to enough room for ham in roasting pan. Preheat oven to 350°F
- Mix brown sugar, mustard and garlic powder for glaze, set aside.
- Trim excess fat, using a knife score ham in a criss-cross or diamond pattern over the top, flat side down.
- Place ham in roasting pan or baking dish at least 2 inch inches deep.
- Pour glaze over top of ham, rubbing (using a spoon, spatula or your hands) into the cuts, crevices etc. Pour Coca-Cola into bottom of roasting pan (you don't want to wash off the glaze). Pour whiskey or bourbon slowly over the top of the ham or into the bottom.
- Cover loosely with foil or lid, cooking for 15 minutes per pound (e.g. 10 lb ham, 150 minutes = 2 hours 30 minutes).
- Important! Allow ham to rest 15-30 minutes before slicing. Pour juices over sliced meats and serve warm.
Equipments used:
Notes
- Substitute unfiltered apple juice for bourbon if desired, or omit entirely.
- If making a larger ham, increase glaze ingredients accordingly, but keep the Cola and Bourbon to same amounts.
- If you need to save on oven space for all of those fabulous side dishes, make this delicious ham in your slow cooker.
- Follow the recipe as outlined for the stove top, then place everything in your slow cooker instead of a large roasting pan. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours until ham is warmed through.
- roasting pan
- Recipe adapted from Soulfully Made.
- If desired, over medium-high heat pour the cooking liquid from the bottom of the pan into a medium to large pot. Once simmering, reduce heat to medium heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened. Use this glaze or gravy to pour over the sliced ham.
- For this recipe I have only used real Coca-Cola (Mexico), but you could try other natural cola drinks as well.
- Run out of mustard, use 1 teaspoon of mustard powder in place of the prepared mustard.
