How are you cooking your ham

[cranbury]

I know lots love cooking their ham in coke, but we are not sweet toothed so I have never tried it. I just boil, then finish off with mustard and honey on top. Delia's blackened ham just looked very black and not appetising! How are you cooking your ham

I do ham with a mango chutney glaze in a roasting bag.

gives it a nice, not too sweet finish.

I boiled up a yummy ham this week with onion, a carton of apple juice and brown sugar. Yum yum yum, I highly recommend trying this.

Was thinking of trying to ham in coke,
but will be checking here for any other ideas

boiled for 45 mins. then in oven in big foil pokey-hat( as my scottish mum would describe it), with juice and rind of 2 oranges and 6 cloves. then whip foil off for last bit. in oven for about 2 hrs at 190 degrees.
best gammon joint ever, said dh.

Boiled with ajar of marmalade. This gives it the sweetness, but also has the slight sourness/bitterness of the orange peel to prevent it becoming too sweet.

Love ham in coke, it just tastes like sweet-cure ham, I suppose, but much, much nicer as it's so tender. The onion, cloves, mustard etc offset the sweetness.

some good ideas - still don't think I am brave enough to try ham with coke for Christmas. Lots of people rave about ham in the slow cooker and that was disaster, as it was too tender for us - yuk
