Cherry Coke Cooked Ham

Cherry Coke combined with brown sugar
makes a good tasting crust on the ham.

Ingredients:
1(4-5 lbs,) fresh ham
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 cups Cherry Cola
whole cloves, to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place ham in a baking pan.
Score the ham in a diamond pattern.
Insert cloves evenly into scored areas.
Reserve 2 tablespoons of the dark-brown sugar
and rub the remainder into the ham.
Slowly pour soda over the brown sugar.
Expect some of the sugar to wash off.
Use the 2 tablespoons of reserved
sugar to fill in the gaps.
Place ham in the oven and bake
for about 45 minutes.
Remove and allow hame to cool
enough to remove the cloves.
Slice and serve.
