love it, try it!

Only a bit sweet ,,,,, you will probably like it.

 

Maybe wash it down with a can of Stella to restore manliness

 

I've eaten it twice and would probably not cook it at home, i prefer it done with Celery and bread sauce

Fair point

did a hog roast for a birthday years ago.marinated the piglet overnight in 5 bottles of Pimms!!.....worked a treat....often use coke for marinades on BBQ........just liquid sugar really..

[Fatcatsplat]

As above, I use coke a lot as a bbq aid - Sweet and tenderising as well

[Outlander]

leave the coke to cook your spare ribs in the summer and cook the ham joint in cider or apple juice tastes much better I think.

[dan the gun]

I tried a springbok we shot in SA done in coke tasted like **** to be fair lol

[HDAV]

Cooked it loads lidl gammon + freeway cola some mash and veg lovely easy dinner or Sunday roast.... Boil down the Coke while roasting gammon to make a sticky very sweet sauce try a tea spoon of it on the meat

My sister did it a few years ago for a Christmas dinner and I can honestly say it was one of the nicest meals I've ever had. It doesn't taste of Coke as some might think but follow a decent recipe and report back to us.

Had Slow cooked pork and dr pepper so would see why not.

I've been cooking ham in Ginger beer for the last 3 years. Finish with a ginger marmalade, brown sugar and english mustard glaze. Best tasting ham I've ever had.

[loriusgarrulus]

I boil ham with orange juice, cloves, cinnamon and honey. Tastes great.

I've done boiled ham in stock, cider, coke, beer...and to be honest (to me at least) it doesn't seem to make a huge difference in the end.

I put you down as more of a ham in cherryaid man person

I've done a ham joint in Coke (has to be full fat) in the slow cooker for 8 hours. Very tender and sweet. Had about 15-20 cloves stuck in it as well.

 

Finish off under the grill with some brown sugar or choice of topping. Gorgeous!

 

I'm sure it can be done in oven but needs to be fully `submersed` to prevent drying out and cook it for at least 5 or 6 hours.

Mrs D does a ham each Christmas to a recipe (Nigella perhaps?)

I can't describe here how it tastes other than people talk about for months on end, including me.

You need a good starting point obviously if anyone is interested I will ask here for the details, but I know it doesn't involve Coke, of either variety (see what I did there?...)

 

Without smell or taste this means nothing of course but this is what the finished item looks like:

 

 

 

[lord_seagrave]

Yep, there's (IMHO) no need to over-sweeten it. Just enough glaze to balance the saltiness of the ham. A big bony knuckle/hock is my preference.

 

Simmer it with celery, carrot and onion for the right amount of time, then drain it, skin it (if desired) and glaze it. Into the oven to finish off. I like a mixture of brandy, marmalade and English mustard.

 

Just returned from St Anton where they were serving up eisbeins by the truck-load
