this is my family's favourite way to have ham. I have cooked my ham with the coke and bag several times and it always turns out perfect. I always use just a "football" ham - no bone, cut off all the skin, pour 1/2 can of coke over top of it in the bag, seal, cut a couple holes and cook for 4 - 4.5 hrs. it is so tender and delicious - by far the best ham my family has ever had!!

I love this recipe! It makes for a very tender ham. I have experimented and used Sprite instead of cola and found it to be enjoyable as well. Thanks for the recipe!

This was really good! I marinated the ham overnight in the cola (a whole can) and rubbed liberally with brown sugar before cooking. The drippings were a bit sweet for gravy this way though, which I love - not much is better than good ham gravy! Overall, a wonderful way to make ham. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for a great recipe!

This recipe is great, I also marinated the ham overnight. It gave the ham a deep sweet taste. Served this at Easter and everyone loved it!

Yuk. I marinated the ham overnight, turning several times. It turned out moist, but nobody liked the taste.

I made this ham for Easter, followed the recipe to the - T. I used a pre cooked spiral ham 10#, it was dry.I think for a pre cooked ham next time I will cut the cooking time in half.

I made 2 hams for my company on Easter Sunday, this one and "No More Salty Ham" also found on this site. Well, both were good, but for all of the extra work No More Salty Ham took, I have to say that cola ham was better. It was so tender and tasty that no one could stop eating it! And it couldn't be easier. My ham was a butt portion Cooks ham and only 7 pounds. I baked it the recommended 4 hours. So good. I will make my hams this way from now on.

I made this recipe in a crock pot like one of the other reviewers recommended, and it was INCREDIBLY easy and everyone RAVED that it was the most tender, delicious ham they ever had. I do not even really like ham, but had to try some after everyone's comments, and I have to say I agree; it was awesome! I poured 1 can of coke into the crock pot, added a boneless, fully cooked 8 lb Berks ham, and topped with a can of crushed pineapple. I put it on low in the crock pot for 10 hours and that was it. Easy & delicious! Using coke with ham seemed odd, but a relative that went to Chef School later told me that Coke is an excellent meat tenderizer.

I wasn't very impressed with this recipe at all. I'm giving it three stars because it didn't taste bad. It's just that it tasted like a plain old ham to me. I couldn't tell that the cola even added any flavor at all. I even marinated it over night as some others suggested. I won't be making this again. I usually just do a simple glaze of brown sugar, orange juice, and cloves which adds so much more flavor than following this recipe does.

Made this for dinner tonight for 2 guys in the house who don't like ham. They both ate it up and said they really liked it! Maybe because I've got a little cold, I do like ham, but didn't think this was all that special. I made it in the crockpot with a can of diet coke. It was incredibly easy and I'll make it again!

I used a precooked/presliced ham. This was not a good idea. I did let it marinade overnight, but the ham didn't taste like anything, and it was just darker colored on the bottom. I'm not quite sure what I did wrong, except maybe next time I'll try a regular ham.

As a mother of two who goes to college and holds down a full time job. I need recipes like this one. This is one of the easiest Hams to make. There is very little prep to do. which can be done the night before. And the long cook time allows me to do homework, or go back to classes or work. The Ham comes out tender as if you slaved over it, yet it is, a bag it, stick in the oven and forget it. I found I can bake potatoes at the same time. Using medium baking taters. Clean them poke with a fork all over 12 to 16 times and wrap in aluminum shinny side toward the tater. Bake along side with Ham on the rack. Taters come out with a moist tender center, and a lightly crisp skin. This gives me time to cook carrots and a good side pasta to make a great dinner. Left overs make great lunch sandwiches for the next couple of days and/or dinner the next night! Mom is the hero again!
