Cola Gammon Ham

Ingredients

  • 4lb Cobblestone Farm Bone-in Gammon

  • 1 onion (peeled and cut in half)

  • 2 litres coca-cola - must be the full sugar stuff

  • Cloves for studding the fat (optional)

Directions

  1. Put the gammon in a pan, add the onion, then pour over the Coke.

  2. Bring to the boil, reduce to a good simmer, put the lid on, though not tightly, and cook for 2 hours. Or Cook in the slow cooker on high for 4 hours.

  3. If the gammon's been in the fridge right up to the moment you cook it, you will have to give it a good 15 minutes or so extra so that the interior is properly cooked.

  4. Make your favourite glaze.

  5. Score the fat with a sharp knife to make fairly large diamond shapes, and stud each diamond with a clove.

  6. Carefully apply your glaze

  7. Finish in a 450F oven for about 10 mins until glaze is bubbly.
