Epiphany Ham

Drescription

I wanted to cook a ham but didn't have the ingredients for my usual glaze recipe, so I made substitutions. You can, too! Instead of black cherry, try another flavored soda, or use sweet-and-sour sauce in place of duck sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (8 to 10 pounds; not spiral cut)
  • 1 can (12 ounces) black cherry soda
  • 2 teaspoons chinese five-spice powder
  • 2/3 cup duck sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place ham on a rack in a baking pan or dish; pour soda over ham. Sprinkle with five-spice powder. Cover with aluminum foil; bake 30 minutes.
  2. Remove foil and discard. Baste with duck sauce; return to oven and bake, uncovered, until a thermometer reads 140°, about 2-1/2 hours, basting again halfway through baking.
