Ingredients
- 1 10 lb spiral cut ham
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 can coca cola do not use diet
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch optional
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large roasting pan with cooking spray and place the ham in the pan.
- Rub the brown sugar all over the ham, making sure to get it in between the slices.
- Pour the can of Coca Cola over the ham.
- Cover the ham and bake for 90 minutes, basting every 30 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for 30 minutes more or until until ham is browned and caramelized.
- Remove the ham from the pan and place on a serving platter. Spoon the glaze from the bottom of the pan over the ham. See optional step below if you prefer a thicker glaze (I recommend taking the extra 5 minutes to do this!)
- To thicken the glaze: pour the ham glaze from the bottom of the roasting pan into a small pot and bring to a simmer. Whisk together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the pot, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute or until glaze is thickened.

Notes
- I recommend getting the highest quality ham you can find since this recipe is so simple; every ingredient really counts!
- Look for a spiral cut ham. If you can't find a spiral cut ham you can use any bone in ham. Simply score the top of the ham with a knife in a cross hatch pattern to allow the flavor to infuse into the ham.
- Make sure you do NOT use diet coca cola. If you can find coca cola made with real sugar instead of corn syrup, it will taste even better!
