I was skeptical on using this recipe because I could not believe how 2 cans of Coke can give flavor to such a big ham. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it gives a nice sweetness without being overpowering and it also keeps it very moist as long as you keep basting it. Very simple recipe that can't go wrong and very easy to make. Thanks Paula, your recipe made Easter simple and successful for me!
