COCA-COLA HAM

Steps:

• Put the number of pounds of your ham into the portion scaler at the top of this recipe card to get the right glaze amounts.
• Preheat oven to 325°F. Place a ham largest cut side down inside of a roasting pan with high sides.
• In a bowl stir together the dijon, brown sugar, and coke. Pour it over the ham and rub the sugar into the ham as best as possible.
• Cover the roasting pan TIGHTLY with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and baste the ham all over with the juices from the pan. Recover, keeping the foil as tight as possible and repeat every 30 minutes until cooked.
• Remove the foil and baste the ham again. Bake uncovered for 15 minutes to help the glaze get crisp. Take the ham out of the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

COLA-GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Place brown sugar in a bowl; whisk in just enough cola to dissolve sugar and form a thick glaze. Place ham in baking dish and pour glaze over ham. Add remaining cola to bottom of baking dish.
• Bake ham in the preheated oven, basting with the glaze occasionally, for 2 hours.
• Transfer ham to a serving platter; tent with foil for up to 30 minutes before serving.

COLA HAM WITH MAPLE & MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Put 2kg unsmoked boneless gammon joint in a large pan and cover with 2l cola. Add 1 chopped carrot, 1 quartered onion, 1 chopped celery stick, 1 cinnamon stick, ½ tbsp peppercorns and 1 bay leaf.
• Bring to the boil, then turn down to simmer for around 2 ½ hrs, topping up with boiling water if necessary to keep the gammon fully covered.
• Carefully pour the liquid away, then let the ham cool a little while you heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
• Lift the ham into a roasting tin, then cut away the skin leaving behind an even layer of fat. Score the fat all over in a criss-cross pattern.
• Mix 150ml maple syrup, 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar and a pinch of ground cloves or five-spice in a jug.
• Pour half over the fat, roast for 15 mins, then pour over the rest and return to the oven for another 30 mins, baste half way through.
• Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 mins, then spoon more glaze over the top. Can be roasted on the day or up to 2 days ahead and served cold.
