Coca-Cola Chipotle Country Ham
Prep Time:
30 mins
Total Time:
29 hrs 15 mins
Servings:
10 to 12 servings
Ingredients
-
1 (11- to 14-pound) whole country ham
-
1 (10-ounce) bottle Coca-Cola
-
1/4 cup chipotle sauce*
-
2 (20-ounce) cans sliced pineapple in its own juice, drained
-
*Available in the hispanic foods section of most supermarkets.
Directions
1.
Under running water, scrub any mold off of ham. Place ham in a large cooler and fill with cold water to cover. Let soak for 24 hours, changing water after 12 hours.
2.
Remove ham from cooler, discarding water.
3.
Place ham in a large stockpot*. Cover ham with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover and let ham boil for 3 1/2 hours. *We found that a turkey fryer works well.
4.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
5.
Remove ham from stockpot. Remove skin from ham, leaving fat intact. Score fat in a diamond pattern. Place ham on a rack in a roasting pan.
6.
In a medium bowl, combine Coca-Cola and chipotle sauce, stirring well. Brush on ham. Place pineapple slices on ham, securing with toothpicks.
7.
Bake for 1 hour, or until a thermometer inserted in ham registers 140 degrees. Remove from roasting pan and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Few holiday meats are easier to cook than a ham. Just season and let it bake.
