Cola Ham

Ingredients

• 1 (10-pound) fully-cooked smoked cured ham
• 2 (12-ounce) cans cola
• Canned pineapple rings
• Light brown sugar, for sprinkling*
• Maraschino cherries
• Cloves

Directions

*Cook's Note: I suggest not using dark brown sugar

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Place ham in a shallow roasting pan, leaving room around the ham so the air can evenly circulate.

Baste the ham with cola. With toothpicks, stick some pineapple rings on the ham, about 4 or 5 rings. Sprinkle some brown sugar on the rings. With toothpicks, place a cherry in each pineapple ring hole and then stick some cloves in the rings. Cover with foil.

Bake ham until heated through, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Baste with cola about every 30 minutes during cooking.
