Time 4h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 fully cooked bone-in ham shank (12 lb)
1 tablespoon black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
30 whole cloves
1 can (12 oz) cola carbonated beverage
1/4 cup bourbon
6 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 jar (13 oz) cherry preserves

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. Remove skin from ham; trim fat to 1/4-inch thickness. Make shallow cuts in fat 1 inch apart in diamond pattern. Rub peppercorns over surface of ham; insert cloves in centers of diamonds.
  • Place ham in pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of ham and does not touch fat or bone. In small bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups of the cola, 2 tablespoons of the bourbon and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar; pour over ham. Bake uncovered 2 hours, basting with pan drippings every 15 minutes.
  • In 1-quart saucepan, mix remaining 1/4 cup cola and remaining 2 tablespoons each bourbon and brown sugar. Add 2/3 cup of the preserves. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes or until glaze is hot and sugar is dissolved. Brush glaze over ham. Bake 1 hour 45 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 140°F. Transfer ham to serving platter; cover with foil. Let stand 30 minutes before carving.
  • Skim fat from drippings in pan. Stir remaining 1/2 cup preserves into drippings with whisk. Transfer mixture to a saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened. Serve glaze with ham.

This recipe was a disaster. The ham was dry and tough, and the glaze was too sweet.

This recipe is a great base, but I added some extra spices to the glaze to give it a bit more flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the ham turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
