The caramelized sugars in the cola make an irresistible sweet glaze for your holiday ham. Be sure to get a ham big enough for leftovers—it is nearly as good sliced up for sandwiches or fried with eggs as it is when presented in its full glory just out of the oven.

Brown Sugar Glazed Ham Recipe for a Sweet and Savory Feast

This cola and brown sugar glazed ham recipe combines the sweetness of caramelized sugar with the bold flavor of cola, creating a beautifully glossy and tender ham. This recipe is ideal for slow roasting, and using the Anolon Advanced Nonstick Roaster with Rack ensures even heat distribution for a perfectly cooked ham with a crispy outer layer. The pan's nonstick surface makes cleanup effortless, while its sturdy design allows for easy handling when moving from the oven to the serving table. The combination of cola and brown sugar in the glaze gives the ham a rich, deep flavor that’s both sweet and savory, making it a crowd-pleaser at any gathering.

This ham is perfect for holiday meals like Christmas, Easter, or Thanksgiving, but it also shines at family dinners or special celebrations. To complete the meal, serve it with classic sides such as creamy mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green bean casserole. A tangy cranberry sauce or a bright, zesty salad can help balance the ham’s sweetness, while warm dinner rolls and butter make for the perfect finishing touch. For a more Southern-inspired feast, you might add cornbread or mac and cheese to the spread, creating a truly comforting and flavorful meal.
