Coca-Cola Glazed Ham

Classic cola-cola glazed ham recipe with brown sugar and dijon that self-bastes in an oven bag for a super easy, super special baked ham.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 10-12 pound bone-in, cured ham
• 1 extra large oven bag (holds 8-25 lbs)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup dijon mustard
• 1 large orange, washed and cut into 6 wedges
• 1 can Coca-Cola

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. 2Using a sharp knife, score the ham in a diamond pattern making 1/4-inch deep slices. Don't fret over getting this perfect - mine never is!
3. 3Place the ham on its side (not face down) in the oven bag set in a large roasting pan. Roll the sides of the bag down so that the bag is open wide and you can get your hands around the ham easily.
4. 4Combine brown sugar and dijon mustard in a small bowl and stir until thoroughly combined. Rub sugar mixture all over ham.
5. 5Place orange wedges in the bottom of the bag around the ham. Pour the coke into the bag. Don’t pour the coke over the ham or it will wash the sugar mixture off – just pour it in near the bottom of the ham.
6. 6“Puff up” the bag a little so that the bag isn't touching the ham. Making sure to keep a “loose fit” around the ham, close the bag tightly with the provided tie.
7. 7Using a small, sharp knife, make three small slits in the top of the bag for ventilation. Don’t skip this step or the bag will burst and the ham won’t be able to self-baste.
8. 8Move your oven rack just low enough that the bag won’t touch the upper elements in your oven then bake at 350 degrees for 2-2.5 hours (2.5-3 hours if using a 13-15 pound ham) or until nicely browned and caramelized.
9. 9Remove ham from oven and rest, inside the bag, at least 30 minutes (up to 90 minutes) before slicing and serving.
