How many of us are cooking ham in coca cola for Christmas then?

[TsarHumbug]

Just done mine. God it looks gooood And once again I wonder why I only seem to do this once a year.

It will be dinner tonight

Enjoy yours hannah! I cant think I'd ever cook ham any other way now.

Coke? Ham? Confused!

I did it yesterday. It's very nice but not sure if it's THAT much better. I hated the smell of it boiling!

I've never cooked it but had it done in cherry coke at my aunts house and it was lovely!

Hi Wilkie

It's a nigella recipe, the coke makes it dark and sweet, a bit like using molasses.

how do you do it? (Have just bunged ham in stock to boil...)

It's a Nigella recipe Tinsel, mentioned on mn often.

It sounds bizarre I know, but it's sooo yummy.

You basically simmer gammon in coke for a couple of hours and it gives it a lovely sweet unusual flavour.

just use coke instead of stock, fmv, or you can add some to your stock.

I didn't have treacle for the glaze so I used maply syrup. Very nice.

Mine is simmering away now.

Does anyone know if you can use this recipe on a smoked gammon joint?

I used a different glaze too (mustard and sugar); as Guadalupe says it can be whatever you like.

I don't see why not. It would taste more smokey is all I guess.

doing mine later!#
not glazing it tho to sweet fo rme

Just thinking about getting mine out of the slow cooker and sorting the glaze

Going to start mine once I drag myself away from here.

Mine is smoky, dp and I couldn't remember what we used last year but he wanted to try smoky. Hope it's nice (though I'm veggie so won't be eating it anyway! lol).

mine is on the hob now - not using cloves though, just the glaze...

Same here - doing it for Boxing Day - slow cooking it in coke then just firing it in the oven to finish,I'm not adding anything else to the glaze- definitely not cloves bleurgh!

It'll be a first for me so hope it's nice

Me!

It is in the slow cooker at the moment.

Well done everyone. Enjoy you hams (and how many time a year do you get to say that!? )

isn't it fizzy?
