ATLANTA BAKED HAM 
1 (7 lb.) half or whole ham, I use Hormel Cure 51
2 tbsp. prepared mustard
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
5 tbsp. peanut butter
2 tsp. horseradish
18 to 25 whole cloves
1/2 c. coca cola

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake ham 25 minutes per pound for a half ham, or slightly less for a whole ham. Combine mustard, brown sugar, peanut butter, and horseradish. Mix well and set aside. When about 45 minutes baking time remain, remove ham from oven. Trim off rind (there is not rind on Hormel 51) and fat. Pour excess fat from pan. Stud top of ham with cloves, and spread with mustard sauce. Pour Coca Cola in pan and return to oven, basting ham several times with pan juices.

P.S. Pour the coke gently as not to disturb the hard crust that is beginning to form.
