1 (8 pound) boneless ham
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle cola-flavored carbonated beverage
1 cup grape juice
1 (20 ounce) can sliced pineapple, drained with juice reserved
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F
Use a knife to score a diagonal pattern onto the ham with the lines about 1 inch apart. Place the ham in a large roasting pan and pat brown sugar over the entire surface. Bake the ham in the preheated oven until the sugar is melting off of it, about 30 minutes. Remove the ham from the oven and pour the cola, grape juice and juice from the pineapple into the pan. Baste the ham with the mixture and return it to the oven.
Continue to bake in the preheated oven, basting every 20 minutes, Allow the ham to rest for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
I get the pineapple rings and make a pineapple upside down cake as well. I know it sounds funny but it tastes good especially if the sugar and cola get a little browner….yum.
