Ingredients

  • 5-10 pounds picnic ham
  • whole cloves
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/4 cups Dijon mustard
  • 12 ounces Dr. Pepper or cola
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4" deep, then place a whole clove in the middle of each diamond.
  • Place the ham in a roasting pan with a rack, tent it with foil, and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the center registers 100°F (about 17 minutes per pound).
  • While the ham bakes, bring the brown sugar, mustard, Dr. Pepper, and vinegar to a simmer in a medium saucepan, then and cook until syrupy and reduced (about 10 minutes).
  • Remove the foil from the ham and brush on the glaze. Return it to the oven, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the ham from the oven again, add more glaze, bake for another 20 minutes.
  • When the ham looks nice and glossy, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before serving.
