1 cooked 10 pound ham
(get
Hillshire Farm Shank Half, it has less fat)
1 liter cola |
whole cloves
1 cup dark brown sugar

| Heat oven to 325°F. Put ham
flat side down on a rack in a shallow roasting
pan. Pour cola, salt and pepper into pan saving a half cup. Bake
ham uncovered for about 4 hours. Heat thermometer
should read 140°F. Bast every 20 minutes.
Pull ham out. Let stand for 10 minutes. Increase
heat to 375°F . Cut fat all but a thin
layer (that’s why the Hillshire Ham little
to no fat to cut off). Put cloves in an inch
apart. (I just stab the ham about 10 or 15 times
and stick the cloves in the holes). Mix brown
sugar and half cup of cola. Pour over ham, put
back for 45 minutes and bast every 15 minutes. If
ham looks to dark cover. Let it stand 15 minutes
before serving.
