Ham in Cola

This easy recipe yields 8 servings. It is suggested to serve the ham with sweet corn pudding.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 2 hours 40 minutes

Ready In: 2 hours 50 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 (4 1/4 to 2 1/4 pounds) bone-in ham
• 1 onion, peeled and halved
• 2 liters Coca-Cola
• 1 handful cloves
• 1 heaping teaspoon molasses
• 2 teaspoons English mustard powder
• 2 tablespoons raw cane sugar or granulated brown sugar

1. Simmer the ham in Coca-Cola

Place the ham and onion halves in a large cooking pot or Dutch oven and pour the Coca-Cola over them. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer covered loosely for 2 and a half hours.

2. Apply glaze

Heat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and remove the ham from the pot, keeping the liquid. Trim the skin with a knife to leave a thin layer of fat. Score diagonally with diamond shapes and insert a clove into each diamond. Spread the molasses over the ham, then pat with the mustard powder and sugar.

3. Bake

Place the ham in a roasting pan lined with foil. Cook for 10 minutes, or until the glaze is bubbly.
