MARTHA STEWART COCA COLA HAM (ADAPTED FOR LAZY PEOPLE)

• Place ham in an aluminum roasting pan that you have placed on a baking/cookie sheet (for stability).

• Combine 1 cup of pineapple juice and wine, and baste the ham.
• Bake the ham for about 15 minutes per pound, basting every 20 minutes with the juices.

• Prior to serving, remove all toothpicks.
• The extremely lazy way:.
• Pack the brown sugar on the ham.
• Pour the Coke and Wine mixture liberally on the ham.
• Forget about the pineapples and cherries, unless you really want pineapple, in which case, stick them randomly on the ham.
• Stuff it in the oven and baste every 20 minutes.
• Cover with aluminium foil after the first basting.
• Use a meat thermometer to tell when it's done, and serve.
