Baked ham, cooked low and slow with brown sugar, mustard, and cola has been in my recipe file for years. Honestly, I don’t remember how many times I’ve made this ham – I stopped counting a long time ago. It’s the crowning glory on my Easter table and is Tom Turkey’s sidekick for Thanksgiving. Truth be told, a beautiful, flavorful ham is pretty much a requirement on a southern table for holidays or important celebrations since it’s easy to make, feeds a crowd, and people just love it. 
Speaking of celebrations, this spring something special is happening with this ham. My boys have asked me to go over the recipe with them so they can get the full scoop on how to make it for Mother’s Day! I am just tickled because number one, they are thoughtful enough to make lunch for me and number two, they are using one of my recipes. Actually, I know they have their own taste buds in mind, but I don’t care. I am just thrilled that they want to show some love to their mama and want to make Mother’s Day special for me.
