Mixing Cherry Coke with whiskey gives this baked ham a sweet and spicy kick. It's wonderful for basting on the savory ham. A flavorful and beautiful ham perfect for any holiday. Make sure to baste the ham every 15 minutes or so. It helps to intensify the flavor and prevents the baked ham from drying out.

How To Make whiskey wild cherry coke glazed ham
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Score the ham on the diagonal along the fat side and insert whole cloves in the corners of each slice.
-
Step 2Season the ham with salt, pepper, and the pinches of each herb. I mix it all together in a rub it all over the ham.
-
Step 3Cover the ham with brown sugar and pour 1 cup of Cherry Coke in the bottom of the roasting pan.
-
Step 4Cook the ham for about an hour to an hour and a half.
-
Step 5Mix the remaining Cherry Coke and whiskey.
-
Step 6Baste the ham with the mixture often throughout the cooking process. When you are out of the whiskey and cola mixture, use the pan juices. It will have some of the brown sugar and ham juices yummy. When the ham reads 140 on a thermometer it's done. Take it out of the oven. It should be a gorgeous mahogany color. Tent it for about 15 minutes.

Step 7Remove the cloves. Slice and serve with candied carrots and garlic mashed potatoes. So so good!
