Ingredients

16 oz. cola (2 cups)
1 cup dark-brown sugar
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. red pepper flakes
1 (6- to 8-pound) bone-in cooked ham
Butter, for aluminum foil

Directions

1. Step 1In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring cola, brown sugar, mustard, and red pepper flakes to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer until glaze is reduced and slightly thickened, 20 to 30 minutes.
2. Step 2Preheat oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, using a sharp knife, score ham, making 1/2-inch-deep marks in a grid pattern. Line a roasting pan with a piece of buttered aluminum foil. Transfer ham to pan and, using a pastry brush, cover with a third of the glaze.
3. Step 3Bake ham for 1 1/2 hours, and brush with a third of the glaze. Bake for another hour, and brush with remaining glaze. Continue baking for up to 30 minutes more, until an instant-read thermometer reaches 145°F when inserted into ham. Remove from oven and let rest for 20 minutes.
