Ingredients
- 1 (8 pound) baked ham
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans or bottles cola-flavored carbonated beverage
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, and place ham into the pan.
- Place brown sugar in a bowl; whisk in just enough cola to dissolve sugar and form a thick glaze. Pour glaze over ham, then add remaining cola to the bottom of the baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven, occasionally basting with glaze, for 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- Transfer ham to a serving platter and tent with foil for up to 30 minutes before serving.
Reviews
Followed recipe exact and the results were so good I’m seriously wondering if I will ever try another way?? This was wonderful! The cooking instructions were a little unclear; covered? Uncovered? I ended up cooking the first hour & twenty covered, the last 40-45 uncovered and basted every 20 min throughout. Took this to a family picnic where this was the main dish and/or could be served on lightly buttered dollar buns. Devoured and lots of compliments! Thanks for sharing this wonderful – and so darn easy – recipe!!
I made this for Thanksgiving and I cooked it on a grill and is still came out great.
I used Dr. Pepper for the cola. It was a hit
I cooked on the smoker for 3-4 hrs at 225 F. The first 1-2 hrs uncovered in a foil pan with coke to provide moisture then basting with liquid from pan every 20-30 minutes. The last 1-2 hrs cover with foil until internal temp of 140 F.
2cups cola and 1/2 cup brown sugar
So easy and taste great. This will be my go to recipe for ham!!
Fantastic! I followed the recipe, and it came out tender and juicy. There weren’t any leftovers, so this will be made again!
So easy and very good.
My family said its the best ham they ever ate
Very good and simple recipe. I made it as it’s written.
I smoked my ham instead of baking it so my review is based strictly on the glaze. It was excellent! I can tell by reading the instructions for the oven that it would be great this way too! Thanks for the simple and delicious recipe!
