Directions
Fantastic Holiday Ham,I make this ham at the holidays and always receive rave reviews, this ham will be the star attraction at you table — do not use sugar-free 7-up for this, make certain before starting this that you have a large enough roasting pan with a rack that will fit into the pan, a 12-pound ham will take a bit of time to bake so make certain that you have all your other dishes made ahead of time — if you don’t want to go the extra step with the pineapple and cherries you may omit and just make the ham using the brown sugar coating :),I have been making this EXACT recipe for over 25 years. My SIL gave me the recipe written on an old envelope and it is really torn, tattered, and stained now. I’m so glad to put this in my cookbook……you know that envelope can’t last much longer.!! Thank you for posting…..I didn’t think of doing it myself and I’m so glad you did. Donna
