Preheat oven to
350°F.
The Coca-Cola
caramelizes on the ham and is delicious, but you
will want to
use a nonstick roasting pan or, carefully cover a
stick pan with foil, or use a
disposable aluminum roasting pan with a cookie
sheet underneath to support it.
(I hate to be such a cooking tramp and use the
disposable pans, so I try to use
them again and again (use them in the bbq grill to
catch drips, etc.)
Place ham in a
deep roasting pan and pour about 1 liter of the
Coke
(reserve about 2 tablespoons) over and around the
ham.
Bake for 15
minutes per pound, (75 minutes) basting often with
the Coke.
Remove the ham
from the pan, cool slightly and remove the skin.
(your hound dog loves this part)
Meanwhile, combine
the 2 tablespoons Coke with the mustard.
Rub the mustard into the top and sides of the ham.
Rub in the brown sugar.
Press the bread crumbs onto the surface.
Place the ham back
into the roasting pan, but this time using a rack,
and bake for 35-40 more minutes, until the crust is golden.
