Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Place ham, fat side down, in a shallow baking pan.
Pour coke into pan until it is 1/2inch deep. Bake 2 to 3 hours, or until
ham can be easily pierced with a fork, basting with the CocaCola every 15
to 20 minutes. (Center of ham will read 140 degrees F on a meat thermometer
when properly cooked.) Remove ham from the pan and cool. Cut away rind and
fat with a sharp knife. Combine sugar, mustards, bread crumbs, and enough
Coke to form a thick paste. Place ham on roasting rack in pan and pat all
over with the paste.
Add remaining coke to the bottom of the pan.
Increase the temperature to 375 degrees F. and bake the ham 45 minutes
longer, basting every 20 to 15 minutes until sugarmustard paste has melted
to a dark glaze. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before slicing.
