Gammon in Pepsi Max?

[moragdingdongbellingham]

I wanted to try the Nigella recipe, however.....it was obviously supposed to be coke but will Pepsi max do, or does the sugar substitute make it unworkable?

If not, I'll use cider, but I really wanted to try this recipe.

I'm pretty sure it has to be full fat coke as it's the sugar that makes the recipe work.

Def has to be full fat, it's all about the sugar!

I'd read it has to be full fat due to the sugar as well. Which is a pain as am doing Weightwatchers and am not quite sure how to work ou the points value for the recipe.

Oh dear, I thought as much.
I might trudge to the corner shop instead and buy a few cans then as I really want to do it now.
