INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 medium ham with bone in

  • 5 ounces cola (approximately)

  • 1 teaspoon wine vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard

  • 2 cups packed brown sugar

  • Heavy juice from medium can of pear halves


TO PREPARE:

Core ham and remove excess fat.  Put in uncovered shallow roast pan.  Pour the cola over the ham and bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour.  Skim off excess fat.  Mix rest of ingredients and baste over ham.  Cook for another 2 hours basting with sauce every 30 minutes.  The sauce will thicken and you can serve it in a gravy boat along with the ham.
