Toni's Coca-Cola Christmas Ham
My mother-in-law's less messy adaptation of Nigella Lawson's recipe. Great any time, all year round and leftovers are fantastic on sandwiches for school lunches.
INGREADIENT
- 2 kg ham leg on the bone
- 3 L Coca Cola cola
- 1/4 cup whole cloves *to taste
Direction
- Remove the skin from the ham.
- Score ham in a criss-cross pattern.
- Place in a saucepan large enough to fit ham completely.
- Add Coca-Cola, filling saucepan until ham is almost completely covered.
- Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Simmer for approximately 2 hours until Coca-Cola reduces by at least half.
- Cover and leave to sit in reduced coke mixture.
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- Place ham in baking tray and place cloves in criss-crossed grooves.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until ham warms through and is crisp on the outside.
- Serve hot or cold.
