Costs around £20? Planning on doing one on Christmas Eve for the first time. How do I cook it, what do we eat it with etc?

For the first time ever I tried the coca cola ham, it was brilliant- ham in slow cooker, cover with real, full fat coca cola, add veg, slow cooker 4 hours high or 8 hours low, let it sit for 30 minutes wrapped in foil , slice and serve with veg, chips, potatoes- anything really.

Yes, perfect. BBC Good Food website will have cooking times by weight. We did a £14.50 Tesco Finest one this evening and it took about 3 hours. Serve it with potato salad or a cheesy dauphinois. Serve with lots of salads, coleslaw, pickles, crusty bread and cheese. Will be lovely.

Boil it.

Make a honey and mustard marinade type
thing.

Rub it with said marinade type thing.

Then roast it.

We soak ours overnight to remove the salt and then cook for ages. Then remove some of the thick fat ontop to leave a thinner white layer then slather that in mustard and brown sugar then bung it back in the oven for another half hour.
