Ingredients:
1 bone-in ham (about 8-10 pounds)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar (packed)
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 cup cola (preferably a classic soda like Coca-Cola)
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil (for searing)
Instructions:
Prepare the Ham: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a crisscross pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and enhance its flavor. Set the ham aside while you prepare the glaze.
