Cherry Cola Ham Recipes

HAM.... HAM IN A CHERRY, COLA AND PINEAPPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Wash the ham well under cold water to remove all excess salt.
• In a crock pot, put cut side of ham face down. Insert all the cloves into the ham.
• Cut the cherries and pineapple in half and insert a tooth pick to keep the cherries and pineapple in place on the ham. Turn on warm for 4 hours. This will release the water in the ham. After 4 hours drain the water and discard.
• In a medium bowl add cherry juice, cola, mustard, apple juice, brown sugar and Jalepeno ground pepper. Mix well and put into frig to chill. Pour the sauce over the ham, spread around with a spoon or brush. Then turn temp to low for 4 hours.

WHISKEY WILD CHERRY COKE GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Score the ham on the diagonal along the fat side and insert whole cloves in the corners of each slice.
• 2. Season the ham with salt, pepper, and the pinches of each herb. I mix it all together in a rub it all over the ham.
• 3. Cover the ham with brown sugar and pour 1 cup of Cherry Coke in the bottom of the roasting pan.
• 4. Cook the ham for about an hour to an hour and a half.
• 5. Mix the remaining Cherry Coke and whiskey.
• 6. Baste the ham with the mixture often throughout the cooking process. When you are out of the whiskey and cola mixture, use the pan juices. It will have some of the brown sugar and ham juices yummy. When the ham reads 140 on a thermometer it's done. Take it out of the oven. It should be a gorgeous mahogany color. Tent it for about 15 minutes.
• 7. Remove the cloves. Slice and serve with candied carrots and garlic mashed potatoes. So so good!
