Easy Baked Coca Cola Ham

Easy Southern Classic Ham all year around.  My Mother feels that the coco cola pulls some of the salt off and tenderizes the inside of the ham.  It also gives it a wonderful caramelization on the outside. EASY BAKED COUNTRY HAM This is the perfect recipe for any holiday celebrations.  To finish out your meal, serve this with  Southern Spoonbread ,  Mama's Southern Baked Beans ,  Carrot Souffle , and  Simple Broccoli Cauliflower Salad .
