Glazed Easter Ham
Serves: 10-12
Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 2-3 hours
Directions
- Let the ham sit at room temperature for 45 min to 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Meanwhile, generously line a large roasting pan with tin foil. Place an oven safe rack over the foiled pan.
- Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, place the ham on the prepared rack and tent with foil. Bake for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, heat the brown sugar, vinegar, mustard and cola in a small saucepan until bubbly. Cook until reduced and slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a glass dish to stop the glaze from cooking.
- After about 1 hour of baking time, remove the ham from the oven. Generously brush the glaze all over the ham. Tent it with foil and return to the oven for 20 minutes. Repeat the glazing process in 20-minute intervals until the ham reaches 165°F. Keep the foil on until the last round of glazing to keep the skin from burning.
- Allow the ham to rest covered for 15-20 minutes before carving.
Note: Per USDA pre-cooked Ham should be heated to 165°F for safe eating. Please use a proper cooking thermometer to accurately measure Ham temperature as oven type, size of ham and other factors can alter cooking time.
