Equipment
- large deep dish
Ingredients
- 10-15 pounds ham with a bone fully cooked
- 20 oz canned pineapple chunks
- 1 ¼ cup brown sugar
- 12-16 oz canned Coca Cola
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉.With the brown sugar in a bowl add enough pineapple juice to brown sugar so it makes a thick sauce with a 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 ½ 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 ½ 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!
Notes
Make sure every inch of the ham is completely coated with the sugar/pineapple mixture.
Wrapping the ham TIGHTLY is important.
