Step2Place ham in pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of ham and does not touch fat or bone. In small bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups of the cola, 2 tablespoons of the bourbon and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar; pour over ham. Bake uncovered 2 hours, basting with pan drippings every 15 minutes.

Step3In 1-quart saucepan, mix remaining 1/4 cup cola and remaining 2 tablespoons each bourbon and brown sugar. Add 2/3 cup of the preserves. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes or until glaze is hot and sugar is dissolved. Brush glaze over ham. Bake 1 hour 45 minutes longer or until thermometer reads 140°F. Transfer ham to serving platter; cover with foil. Let stand 30 minutes before carving.

Step4Skim fat from drippings in pan. Stir remaining 1/2 cup preserves into drippings with whisk. Transfer mixture to a saucepan. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened. Serve glaze with ham.
