Ingredients
1approx 8-lb. smoked, ready-to-cook, bone-in ham
1cuppacked brown sugarlight or dark, whatever you have
2tablespoonscokeor your favorite carbonated soda
1tablespoonyellow mustard
Instructions
Line a large pan with a lip around it with aluminum foil. Place the ham in the center of the foil.
1 approx 8-lb. smoked, ready-to-cook, bone-in ham
In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, coke, and mustard to make your glaze. Brush half of the glaze over the ham. Wrap the entire ham well in foil. Place in a 350-degree oven for 1 hour.
1 cup packed brown sugar, 2 tablespoons coke, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
Remove the ham from the oven and peel back the foil, but don't move the ham. Brush the remaining glaze over the ham and return to the oven, uncovered, for another 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes or so before cutting. If you need to serve it later you can cover it with foil to keep it warm and let it sit on your stovetop. I suggest cutting it within half an hour of removing it from the oven because that is about as long as you'll be able to stand waiting once you smell it.
