Ingredients for Baked Ham

  • One 8-10 pound fully cooked ham
  • One 12-ounce can Coca-Cola
  • 16 ounces (approximately one 20-ounce can) pineapple rings in juice

How to Make Baked Ham

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Unwrap the ham and place it in a roasting pan with a lid.
  3. Arrange approximately 16 ounces (1 can) of pineapple rings on top of the ham, securing them with toothpicks.
  4. Pour one 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola evenly over the ham.
  5. Cover the roasting pan tightly with the lid.
  6. Bake for approximately 4-4.5 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham registers 140°F (60°C).
  7. Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful ham.
  8. Slice and serve! Enjoy your perfectly glazed ham.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
