Last Easter was the first time I ever rocked out a baked ham. It was so easy, and it turned out fabulous. Too bad we couldn't share it with our ginormous extended fam due to Covid.
Hopefully, this year Easter will be somewhat back to normal for peeps. If you find yourself making a ham for a crowd, this is a great way to go about it. Literally three ingredients: the ham, a can of ginger ale and a 1/2 cup of light brown sugar. Literally that's it.
My Aunt Lorraine had given me the tip to pour a can of ginger ale over a ham to cut down on the salt years ago. The brown sugar creates a wonderful crust! This recipe was so simple, and it should give you total confidence to bake a ham for a crowd - or just your immediate fam if you are keeping it small. I made soup with the leftovers!
I served this beauty with two of my husband and son's fave sides: Roasted potatoes with red onions and Mommom Sacco's string beans. Please check out those recipes!
I'm so thankful to have found this recipe and to now share it will all of you.
Enjoy!
