Directions
Preheat oven to 325℉ (160℃).
Place ham, fat side down, in a shallow baking pan.
Pour coke into pan until it is ½-inch deep.
Bake 2 to 3 hours, or until ham can be easily pierced with a fork, basting with the Coca-Cola every 15 to 20 minutes.
(Center of ham will read 140 degrees F on a meat thermometer when properly cooked.)
Remove ham from the pan and cool.
Cut away rind and fat with a sharp knife.
Combine sugar, mustards, bread crumbs, and enough Coke to form a thick paste.
Place ham on roasting rack in pan and pat all over with the paste.
Add remaining coke to the bottom of the pan.
Increase the temperature to 375℉ (190℃) F and bake the ham 45 minutes longer, basting every 20 to 15 minutes until sugar-mustard paste has melted to a dark glaze.
Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before slicing.
