This ham is spectacular enough as the showcase of an Easter feast, but put these leftovers in a split pea and ham soup, bbq chopped ham sandwich, ham tetrazzini or next morning ham and egg breakfast casserole and you'll want to make Easter dinner a weekly tradition!

Serves 8

• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 (8-pound) smoked fully cooked ham half
• 1 (12-ounce) can cola soft drink
• 1 (8-ounce) jar plum preserves
• 1/3 cup fresh orange juice (can use frozen if necessary)

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Score fat on ham in a diamond pattern. Combine first 6 ingredients and sprinkle over the entire ham. Place in a lightly greased shallow roasting pan. Pour can of cola into pan and bake ham for 1 hour.
3. Uncover ham and bake 15 more minutes.
4. Stir together preserves and orange juice. Spoon 3/4 cup of the glaze over the ham and bake 15 more minutes or until the thickest part of the ham registers 140 degrees on a meat thermometer.
5. Let stand 15 minutes before serving. Serve with remaining glaze.
