Coca Cola Ham

10 lb. ham
6 cups Coca ColaŽ
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1 tbsp. dry mustard
2 tbsp. sharp prepared mustard
2 cups bread crumbs, fine and dry


Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place the ham fat side down in a shallow baking pan.

Pour the coke into the pan until it is 1/2 inch deep. Bake 2 to 3 hours, or until ham can be pierced easily with a fork, basting with cola every 20 minutes. Remove ham from pan to cool. Cut away rind and fat.

Combine sugar, mustards, bread crumbs, and enough coke to form a thick paste. Place ham on roasting rack in pan and pat all over with the paste.

Add remaining coke to bottom of the pan. Increase oven to 375 degrees and bake the ham 45 minutes longer. Baste every 15 to 20 minutes, until sugar mustard mixture had melted to a dark glaze. Let stand at room temp 30 minutes before slicing.
