Ingredients

  • 10 pounds fully-cooked, bone-in ham

  • 6 cups cola

  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon mustard powder

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

  • 2 cups dried bread crumbs

Directions

  • Preheat an oven to 325°F.

  • Place the ham in a shallow baking dish, fat side down. Pour enough cola beverage into baking dish to cover the bottom of the dish.

  • Bake until the center of ham is 140°F on a meat thermometer (approximately 2-3 hours), basting the ham with cola every 15 minutes.

  • Remove the ham from the pan so that it can begin to cool. Increase the oven temperature to 375°F.

  • While the oven is heating, combine the brown sugar, mustard powder, mustard, and bread crumbs. Add enough cola to the mix to form a paste. Spread the paste on the warm ham.

  • Bake the ham for an additional 45 minutes or until the glaze is a dark color, basting ham with cola every 10 minutes.

  • Allow the ham to cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
