Equipment: • Slow cooker or large pot with lid • Baking tray and aluminium foil • Small pot and wooden spoon • Sharp knife and chopping board • Cooling rack • Tongs
Ingredients: Roasted Ham
Glaze: • 65g brown sugar • 50g honey • 60ml Coca-Cola Zero Sugar (save before adding to ham to cook) • 3 tbsp. Dijon mustard • Handful of cloves
• 1.4kg boneless gammon joint • 1.5 litres Coca-Cola Zero Sugar • 1 medium onion (quartered) • 1 medium carrot (quartered) • 2 star anise • 1 3” stick or ½ tsp. cinnamon • ½ tbsp. black peppercorns
Instructions: 1. Add gammon to a slow cooker and pour over Coca-Cola Zero Sugar until just about covered, saving 1/4 cup/60ml. Top up with water if needed. Add in onion, carrot, star anise, cinnamon, and peppercorns. Place on the lid and cook on high for four hours. 2. Meanwhile, in a small pot, over low-medium heat, combine sugar, mustard, honey, and leftover Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. Simmer for 5 mins until the sugar dissolves and starts to thicken, stirring frequently. It will continue to thicken as it rests. 3. Remove ham from the slow cooker and place it on a wire rack above a tray or plate (to catch juices). Make sure it’s fat side up. Once cool enough to handle, score the fat in a criss-cross style to create large diamonds. Be careful not to slice into the ham. Stud a clove at the tip of each diamond. 4. Place ham on a foiled baking tray. Scrunch up some foil to prop the ham up, so it doesn’t fall over if you need to. Brush around 2/3 of your glaze all over the ham. 5. Place in the oven at 200C/Fan 180C for 15 mins, take out and reglaze with leftover glaze, then pop back in the oven for another 10 mins or so until it starts to caramelize and lightly char. 6. Allow the ham to rest for 10-15mins (important), then slice it up. You can remove cloves before slicing if you wish!
