Easy Southern Classic Ham all year around. My Mother feels that the coco cola pulls some of the salt off and tenderizes the inside of the ham. It also gives it a wonderful caramelization on the outside.
EASY BAKED COUNTRY HAM
This is the perfect recipe for any holiday celebrations. To finish out your meal, serve this with Southern Spoonbread, Mama's Southern Baked Beans, Carrot Souffle, and Simple Broccoli Cauliflower Salad.
Easter is such a beautiful time of the year. Here in East Texas, it has been uncommonly cold the last week or so, and you would never know that sparing is here except for the beautiful blooms.
Another Thing Easter brings is the time of the year we have Easy Baked Country Ham aka Coco Cola Ham.
Our Easter mornings are so busy with getting to church, taking pictures, and preparing a delicious meal.
A baked spiral ham basted with Classic Coke can sure make it so much simpler.
Spiral hams cook faster and are presliced, so there is little carving at the table.
The wonderful pan juices in the bottom of the pan helps to keep the ham moist and juicy when served at the table.

HOW TO MAKE BAKED COCA COLA HAM
Adjust the rack in the oven to clear the top enough that the ham is in the center of the oven.
Place the ham on its side in the center of a large roasting pan so that when basting, the juices run off the ham and into the pan.
Slowly pour the coca cola love the entire ham.
Cover the ham in the pan with foil, sealing the edges of the pan with the foil.
Bake for 15 minutes per pound.
For the last 30 minutes, remove the foil and baste the ham with the pan juices every 15 minutes.
At the end of baking, sprinkle the brown sugar around the top and sides of the ham. Place back in the oven, turn the broiler on, and broil for 10-15 minutes or until brown and crispy, allowing to caramelize.
Remove from the oven and let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
