Coca Cola Ham Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Use a knife to score a diagonal pattern onto the ham with the lines about 1 inch apart. Place the ham in a large roasting pan and pat brown sugar over the entire surface. Some will fall into the pan, that's okay.
• Bake the ham in the preheated oven until the sugar is melting off of it, about 30 minutes. Remove the ham from the oven and pour the cola, grape juice and juice from the pineapple into the pan. Baste the ham with the mixture and return it to the oven.
• Continue to bake in the preheated oven, basting every 20 minutes, for about 2 hours. Cut the pineapple rings in half. Remove the ham from the oven and float the pineapple rings in the drippings. Allow the ham to rest for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve with the pineapple and sauce.

Steps:

• 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 or around one hour per kilo of meat.
• Preheat oven to 240 C degrees.
• When ham is cooked, take it out of pan and let cool.
• Remove skin, leaving a thin layer of fat.
• Use a sharp knife to make large diamond shapes in the fat.
• Put a clove in each diamond and spread treacle over skin.
• Pat mustard and sugar onto the sticky fat.
• Bake in a foil-lined pan for around 10 minutes, or until crispy and bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Place brown sugar in a bowl; whisk in just enough cola to dissolve sugar and form a thick glaze. Place ham in baking dish and pour glaze over ham. Add remaining cola to bottom of baking dish.
• Bake ham in the preheated oven, basting with the glaze occasionally, for 2 hours.
• Transfer ham to a serving platter; tent with foil for up to 30 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Put 2kg unsmoked boneless gammon joint in a large pan and cover with 2l cola. Add 1 chopped carrot, 1 quartered onion, 1 chopped celery stick, 1 cinnamon stick, ½ tbsp peppercorns and 1 bay leaf.
• Bring to the boil, then turn down to simmer for around 2 ½ hrs, topping up with boiling water if necessary to keep the gammon fully covered.
• Carefully pour the liquid away, then let the ham cool a little while you heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
• Lift the ham into a roasting tin, then cut away the skin leaving behind an even layer of fat. Score the fat all over in a criss-cross pattern.
• Mix 150ml maple syrup, 2 tbsp wholegrain mustard, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar and a pinch of ground cloves or five-spice in a jug.
• Pour half over the fat, roast for 15 mins, then pour over the rest and return to the oven for another 30 mins, baste half way through.
• Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 mins, then spoon more glaze over the top. Can be roasted on the day or up to 2 days ahead and served cold.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325.
• Score the ham crosswise and lengthwise, forming a crosshatch/square-cut patter about 1/4 inches deep and 1 inch apart. Place a clove in the intersection of each square.
• Place ham in an aluminum roasting pan that you have placed on a baking/cookie sheet (for stability).
• Load the ham with sugar. Use the whole pack and just glom it on. Some sugar will fall off, but keep on packing.
• Bake until sugar just begins to melt (20-30 min).
• Remove ham, pour Coca-Cola all over the ham, and baste the ham with the sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan.
• Bake for another 20 minutes.
• Combine 1 cup of pineapple juice and wine, and baste the ham.
• Bake the ham for about 15 minutes per pound, basting every 20 minutes with the juices.
• During the last 20 minutes, decorate ham with pineapple rings. Use toothpicks to hold the rings in place, and put a cherry in the center of each ring with a toothpick.
• Prior to serving, remove all toothpicks.
• The extremely lazy way:.
• Pack the brown sugar on the ham.
• Pour the Coke and Wine mixture liberally on the ham.
• Forget about the pineapples and cherries, unless you really want pineapple, in which case, stick them randomly on the ham.
• Stuff it in the oven and baste every 20 minutes.
• Cover with aluminium foil after the first basting.
• Use a meat thermometer to tell when it's done, and serve.
