I wanted to try something new and different for an Easter ham and was thrilled with the result I got from my strange sounding but wonderful tasting recipe! Our family and friends RAVED and all wanted the recipe. Hope you enjoy!

Time 2h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 pound) boneless ham
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle cola-flavored carbonated beverage
1 cup grape juice
1 (20 ounce) can sliced pineapple, drained with juice reserved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Use a knife to score a diagonal pattern onto the ham with the lines about 1 inch apart. Place the ham in a large roasting pan and pat brown sugar over the entire surface. Some will fall into the pan, that's okay.
  • Bake the ham in the preheated oven until the sugar is melting off of it, about 30 minutes. Remove the ham from the oven and pour the cola, grape juice and juice from the pineapple into the pan. Baste the ham with the mixture and return it to the oven.
  • Continue to bake in the preheated oven, basting every 20 minutes, for about 2 hours. Cut the pineapple rings in half. Remove the ham from the oven and float the pineapple rings in the drippings. Allow the ham to rest for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve with the pineapple and sauce.

Not a big fan of this recipe. I found the ham to be a bit dry and the glaze too sweet. I prefer a more savory ham. I won't be making this one again.

I followed this recipe to a T and the ham turned out perfectly! It was moist and flavorful, and the glaze was just the right amount of sweetness. I served it with mashed sweet potates and green beens, and it was a delicious meal. I will definitely be

Not bad, not great. The ham was a bit dry and the glaze was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a complete fail for me. The ham was dry and tough, and the glaze was more like a thick, sugary mess. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I will not be making this again.

Not a fan. The ham was a bit dry and the glaze was too sweet for my taste. I followed the recipe exactly, but something just didn't come out right. Maybe I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've always wanted to try a Cola-glazed ham, but never got around to it. I finally gave this one a shot and I'm so glad I did. The ham was juicy and flavorful, and the glaze added a bit of sweetness and tang. I will definitely be making this again. Y
