Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 pounds fully cooked bone-in ham
- 2 cups cola
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 6 slices pineapple slices (optional)
- 6 whole cloves (optional)
Instructions
Unwrap and place the ham into the crock pot with the flat side down.
In a medium bowl, mix together the cola, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Pour the mixture evenly over the ham, allowing it to coat the meat and seep into any crevices.
If using pineapple slices, arrange them over the ham and secure each with a whole clove or toothpick.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it to low heat.
Cook the ham for 4 to 5 hours on low, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C). Baste the ham with the cooking juices every hour for added flavor.
Once fully cooked, transfer the ham to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with the juices drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.
