It doesn’t get more Southern than ham and Coca-Cola. Combine them for the ultimate soul food treat. This is an absolute must for my family every Easter, and it’s a recipe that I look forward to eating every year. The ham is braised in a mix of Coke, orange juice and brown sugar, so the ham is succulent and tender. Use the leftovers to layer biscuits for breakfast the next morning.
