CROCK POT HAM WITH COKE

Steps:

• Stir together the sugar, cola, mustard, and pineapple juice in a small, microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes. (*see notes about doubling ham glaze for later use)
• Place ham in the pot of the slow cooker. Pour the the glaze over the ham. If your ham is spiral sliced, be sure the glaze gets between the slices.
• Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until ham reaches an internal temperature of 145º.
• Remove ham from the slow cooker and tent with foil. Drizzle ham with leftover cola mixture. Let rest 10-15 minutes before serving.

CROCK POT COLA HAM

Steps:

• Remove ham from packaging.
• Lightly score ham in diagonal lines first one way, then crosswise, to form a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut any deeper than about a eighth of an inch. (You can score both sides if you like).
• Make a paste of brown sugar and mustard (I used Boar's Head Honey Mustard).
• Rub paste into ham on sides that have been lightly scored.
• Transfer to crock pot.
• Pour in two cans of coca cola into bottom of pot, not pouring directly over ham to wash away brown sugar paste.
• Cook on low 7-8 hours.

HAM IN COCA COLA

Steps:

• Put ham in a pan, add onion and pour over the Coke.
• Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, put the lid on and cook for around 2 1/2 hours or around one hour per kilo of meat.
• Preheat oven to 240 C degrees.
• When ham is cooked, take it out of pan and let cool.
• Remove skin, leaving a thin layer of fat.
• Use a sharp knife to make large diamond shapes in the fat.
• Put a clove in each diamond and spread treacle over skin.
• Pat mustard and sugar onto the sticky fat.
• Bake in a foil-lined pan for around 10 minutes, or until crispy and bubbly.

MARTHA STEWART COCA COLA HAM (ADAPTED FOR LAZY PEOPLE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• Score the ham crosswise and lengthwise, forming a crosshatch/square-cut patter about 1/4 inches deep and 1 inch apart. Place a clove in the intersection of each square.
• Place ham in an aluminum roasting pan that you have placed on a baking/cookie sheet (for stability).
• Load the ham with sugar. Use the whole pack and just glom it on. Some sugar will fall off, but keep on packing.
• Bake until sugar just begins to melt (20-30 min).
• Remove ham, pour Coca-Cola all over the ham, and baste the ham with the sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan.
• Bake for another 20 minutes.
• Combine 1 cup of pineapple juice and wine, and baste the ham.
• Bake the ham for about 15 minutes per pound, basting every 20 minutes with the juices.
• During the last 20 minutes, decorate ham with pineapple rings. Use toothpicks to hold the rings in place, and put a cherry in the center of each ring with a toothpick.
• Prior to serving, remove all toothpicks.
• The extremely lazy way:.
• Pack the brown sugar on the ham.
• Pour the Coke and Wine mixture liberally on the ham.
• Forget about the pineapples and cherries, unless you really want pineapple, in which case, stick them randomly on the ham.
• Stuff it in the oven and baste every 20 minutes.
• Cover with aluminium foil after the first basting.
• Use a meat thermometer to tell when it's done, and serve.
