Ingredients
- 5-8 pound cooked ham bone in
- 1 can coca cola
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Place the ham in the basin of a slow cooker.
- In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cola, and mustard over high heat. Bring to a boil and make sure the sugar has dissolved. Pour the mixture over the ham. If your ham is pre-sliced make sure some of the glaze goes in between the slices.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours, basting with the cooking juices every few hours.
- Remove ham from slow cooker and let cool a bit until it can be handled. Slice the ham and serve.
- If not serving immediately, preheat the broiler and transfer the ham to a oven-safe baking dish. Brush with some of the leftover liquid and broil for about 5 minutes, glazing with additional liquid as preferred.

Notes
- Do not omit the mustard in the glaze. It helps to emulsify the glaze as well as add flavor. Basically, it binds the mixture together.
- For the juiciest and most flavorful ham, do not forget to baste it every couple of hours. The more you baste the more it’s infused with flavor.
- Take into consideration the size of your crock pot before buying a ham to make this recipe. That way you don’t have to hack off parts of the ham to make it fit.
