Ham in Coca Cola

Ingredients

  • 4 to 5 pound mild-cure ham
  • 1 onion peeled and cut in half
  • 1 2 liter bottle Coca-Cola

For the glaze

  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 2 teaspoons mustard powder
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Put ham in a pan, add onion and pour over the Coke. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, put the lid on and cook for around 2 1/2 hours.
  2. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
  3. When ham is cooked, take it out of pan and let cool. Remove skin, leaving a thin layer of fat.
  4. Use a sharp knife to make large diamond shapes in the fat. Put a clove in each diamond and spread with molasses all over. Pat mustard and sugar onto the sticky fat.
  5. Bake in a foil-lined pan for around 10 minutes, or until crispy and bubbly.
