Coke and Vino Ham

I found a recipe called Coke Au Vin Baked Ham I like the “idea” of the recipe and the ingredients, but not the directions. I never cook bone in hams don’t ask me why, I just don’t.

The original recipe was of no use to me other than the ingredients. This ham turned out AMAZING the flavor is wonderful. I can’t forget to mention how tender it was. I cut the ham with a bread knife… Seriously!

This ham really reminded me of a honey baked ham without the crusty outsides. I didn’t want the ham to be super sweet, but I wanted it to have a great flavor. I think everyone ate more ham than anything else when I made this for Easter. What a yummy recipe.

By the way please ignore my scoring…. I am clearly not very good at it, but who cares the ham was amazing not pretty!

Ingredients:

1 (5-8 lb.) ham roll (I like Corn King)
3 cups Coca-Cola
1 cup marsala wine
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup brown sugar

Directions:

Score ham about 1″ deep covering the entire ham
Place ham in a Jumbo 2 1/2 gallon zip bag
In a bowl whisk together Coca-Cola, marsala wine, Dijon mustard, and the brown sugar
Mix until the brown sugar dissolves
Add liquid mixture to the zip bagged ham
Marinate the ham for 6 hours in the refrigerator. Frequently turn the ham to evenly marinate.
After the ham has had time to marinate add the ham to a 9×14 pan
Pour the marinate over the ham
Heat the oven to 325 degrees
Add ham to the warm oven
Baste every 15 minutes with the mixture in the pan
Bake for 1 hour.
