- Preheat oven to 375°.

So good and extremely easy! Have had this recipe in my cookbook for a long time and am glad I finally gave it a try. I've made Coca-cola hams before, the coke tenderizes the meat, but the addition of orange marmalade gives it a wonderful flavor. Note that the recipe calls for only half a can of coke. My ham was larger, a Cook's 9.25 pound shank, so after 20 minutes at 375, I covered and reduced the heat to 325 for an additional 2 hours 40 minutes (directions said bake at 325 for 20 minutes/pound). Made a lovely Sunday dinner that even the kids enjoyed. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
