I LOVE a good ham dinner and this family recipe is always a hit! It is full of flavor and the leftovers are so amazing. Try it out next time you need a big family meal.
[recipe title=”Baked Ham” difficulty=”easy”]
[recipe-ingredients]
1 ham with a bone, fully cooked (I look for around 10 pounds)
1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 (20 oz or 12 oz can) Coca Cola
[/recipe-ingredients]
[recipe-directions]
Add enough pineapple juice to brown sugar so it makes a thick sauce runny consistency. Add heavy duty foil to a large pan with a 2-3 inch depth. Foil should be in two pieces making a cross. Add ham and make x marks with a sharp knife all over. Or just pierce it all over. Pour sugar mixture all over making sure it gets into all the cuts you made and massage all over ham making sure it’s well coated. Pour extra pineapple chunks all over and into bottom of pan. Add enough Coca Cola so that it rises 1/2 way up to top of pan. Fold foil over ham making sure it is a tight seal. Bake at 400 for 1 hour. Then turn down to 350 for remaining time. I bake mine for an 2 1/2 to 3 hours depending on size. I always go an extra 30 minutes than what package says. Making sure I’m staying aware of smell. If you suspect your ham is losing juice open up and add water or extra Coke. Do not let it cook dry. There should be plenty of juice. When done carve up. Adding the carved slices right back into the juice so it stays warm and absorbs the juice. Serve warm!
