Time 4h45m

Yield 13

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (10 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham
6 cups cola-flavored carbonated beverage
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon mustard powder
2 tablespoons Dijon-style prepared mustard
2 cups dried bread crumbs

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose a good quality ham: Look for a ham that is fully cooked and has a nice, even color. Avoid hams that have a lot of bruising or discoloration.
  • Score the ham: This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a more flavorful ham.
  • Preheat your oven: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you put the ham in. This will help ensure that the ham cooks evenly.
  • Baste the ham regularly: Basting the ham with the cola glaze will help keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to tell if a ham is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the ham and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the ham rest: After the ham is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make it more tender.

Conclusion:

Cola-basted ham is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy glaze, this ham is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve, give cola-basted ham a try!
