Enter the Sarsaparilla Glazed Ham

1 cooked ham, approximately 5-6 pounds

1 can of sarsaparilla soda

1 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Whole cloves

Preparation of Sarsaparilla Glazed Ham step by step

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).

Place the ham on a baking sheet and tie with kitchen twine if necessary.

Make shallow diagonal cuts in the surface of the ham and stick cloves into the cuts.

In a bowl, mix the sarsaparilla soda, brown sugar, mustard and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Pour the glaze mixture over the ham, making sure to cover it completely.

Cover the ham with aluminum foil and bake for about 2 hours, or until heated through, basting occasionally with the cooking juices.

Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the glaze to brown and caramelize.

Once ready, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving hot.

Enjoy your delicious Sarsaparilla Glazed Pork at your Christmas Island celebration!
