Slow Cooker Cola Ham

"If the basic object of this recipe is to glaze your ham and then slow cook it in a cola based drink then that is what I did. For my glaze I used the brown sugar and mustard and a bit of cola (I actually used Dr. Pepper but I don’t think that was the fundamental problem) but added that all to the packet of honey glaze that came with my ham so as not to waste it. I needed more glaze anyway since my ham was almost 9 lbs. I used a fully cooked spiral sliced one. The meat turned brown (not “Browned”) instead of the rosy pink of ham. The cola changed the flavor significantly too. Instead of the salty ham you are familiar with it looked and tasted more like a beef brisket. I had a big ham in my large slow cooker but another said to cook a 5 or 6 lb. ham 7 to 10 hours. Mine, bigger than that, completely fell off the bone and was pretty dry after that long. The meat was edible but somewhat weird and disappointing when expecting traditional ham. Don’t know how my ham went so far wrong when others liked the concept of this recipe. Sorry, while I might try the crockpot ham again it won’t be this recipe."
