1 bone-in fully cooked spiral-sliced ham (7 to 9 pounds)
3 cups root beer
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons steak sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

2. In a large saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
3. Brush ham with some of the glaze; bake 30-60 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 140°, brushing occasionally with remaining glaze.
