Cola drink
6 fluid ounces (None)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a low 275 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing for a gentle and even cooking process.
2
Carefully trim any visible excess fat from the surface of the ham to prevent overly greasy results while allowing flavors to penetrate.
3
Place the ham inside a large turkey roasting oven bag, ensuring it fits comfortably without over-stretching.
4
Pour the cola over the ham, ensuring it is well-coated. Remove as much air from the bag as possible before sealing it tightly to keep the moisture locked in.
5
Using a sharp pricking tool, puncture a few small holes in the bag to allow steam to escape during the cooking process.
6
Transfer the baking dish with the sealed bag into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 4 to 5 hours, or until the ham is heated through and tender.
7
Once cooked, carefully remove the bag from the oven (it will be hot!) and let it rest for a few minutes.
8
Pour off excess juices from the bag, slice the ham into desired portions, and serve warm.
