1
Preheat oven to 325.
-
2
Score the ham crosswise and lengthwise, forming a crosshatch/square-cut patter about 1/4 inches deep and 1 inch apart. Place a clove in the intersection of each square.
-
3
Place ham in an aluminum roasting pan that you have placed on a baking/cookie sheet (for stability).
-
4
Load the ham with sugar. Use the whole pack and just glom it on. Some sugar will fall off, but keep on packing.
-
5
Bake until sugar just begins to melt (20-30 min).
-
6
Remove ham, pour Coca-Cola all over the ham, and baste the ham with the sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan.
-
7
Bake for another 20 minutes.
-
8
Combine 1 cup of pineapple juice and wine, and baste the ham.
-
9
Bake the ham for about 15 minutes per pound, basting every 20 minutes with the juices.
-
10
During the last 20 minutes, decorate ham with pineapple rings. Use toothpicks to hold the rings in place, and put a cherry in the center of each ring with a toothpick.
-
11
Prior to serving, remove all toothpicks.
-
12
The extremely lazy way:
-
13
Pack the brown sugar on the ham.
-
14
Pour the Coke and Wine mixture liberally on the ham.
-
15
Forget about the pineapples and cherries, unless you really want pineapple, in which case, stick them randomly on the ham.
-
16
Stuff it in the oven and baste every 20 minutes.
-
17
Cover with aluminium foil after the first basting.
-
18
Use a meat thermometer to tell when it's done, and serve.
