Try a great gammon recipe, with a secret ingredient!


Roasted Gammon in Coca-Cola

What you'll need:
2 litres Coca-Cola
2 kg gammon, mild cure
1 onion, peeled and halved
1 large pan
1 large roasting tin

For the glaze:
1 handful cloves
1 tbsp black treacle
2 tsp English mustard powder
2 tbsp Demerara suger

How to prepare the Gammon:

  • Weigh the joint and calculate the coking time, (allow 20 minutes per 450g, plus 20 minutes).
  • Place gammon in a large pan, add the Coca-Cola and onion. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for half the calculated cooking time (about 1 hour 10 minutes).
  • Drain joint, strip off the rind, leaving a thin layer of fat. Score the fat into diamonds. Place on a rack in a large roasting tin, lined with foil.
  • Preheat the oven to 240°C, (gas mark 9). Stud each diamond edge with cloves. Spread the treacle over the joint, taking care not to dislodge the cloves. Then gently pat the mustard and sugar onto the sticky fat.
  • Cook in the oven for approx 10 mins until the glaze is brown and bubbly, basting occasionally with the glaze and covering the top loosely with foil, if it becomes too brown.
  • Allow to stand for 15 mins before carving. Also delicious served cold.
