Serving Size: 12
Cooking Time: 170 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 Pounds (lb) boneless ham
- 2 Cups packed brown sugar
- 12 Fluid Ounces (fl oz) cola-flavored carbonated beverage
- 1 Cup grape juice
- 20 Ounces (oz) can sliced pineapple, drained
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Use a knife to score diagonal lines onto the ham, about 1 inch apart. Place the ham in a large roasting pan and pat brown sugar over the entire surface. (It is okay if some sugar falls into the pan.)
- Bake in the preheated oven until the sugar begins to melt off the ham, about 30 minutes. Remove the ham from the oven and pour cola, grape juice, and reserved pineapple juice into the pan. Baste the ham with the cola mixture and return to the oven.
- Continue basting every 20 minutes for about 2 hours. Cut pineapple rings in half. Remove the ham from the oven and float pineapple rings in the drippings. Allow the ham to rest for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve with pineapple and sauce.
