Prep Time 5 mins
Cooking Time 1 hr 20 mins
Ingredients

• Ham joint 625g/1lb 6oz (off the bone)
• 2 ½ litres Coca Cola (see Cook’s tips)
• 1 Dsp Honey
• ¼ Tsp Mustard powder
• ½ Tsp Dark brown soft sugar

Method

• Place the ham in a large heavy saucepan (See Cook’s tips)
• Pour over the Coca Cola until ham is completely covered
• Bring to the boil
• Skim off scum as it comes to the boil
• Cover, but leave a slight gap for steam to escape and simmer for 1 hour 5 minutes
• Either leave the ham to cool in the Cola or take out and cool on a plate
• When ham has cooled carefully cut off the skin to expose the fat
• Use a sharp knife and score diagonally to make a diamond pattern
• Put ham into a foil container, ( See Cook’s tips) or foil lined baking tin
• Brush the honey over the scored fat
• Mix the sugar and mustard together and pat over the honey
• Cook in a preheated oven 240°C/475°F/Gas mark 9 for 10 minutes
• Take out and baste, then cook for another 5 minutes until glaze is bubbling
• Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly, then carve.

Cook's tips

• Use the normal Coca Cola, not the diet or Zero
• You can use a saucepan to accommodate the size of ham your cooking, and use more or less Coca Cola, just make sure the ham is covered by the liquid
• I use the freezer foil containers
• The amount of glaze ingredients in this recipe are to cover a small joint, just double or triple for a larger one, the flavour will remain the same

Equipment

• Large heavy saucepan with lid
• Foil container, or foil lined tin
