Christmas Ham!!!

[kazzie]

Hi:D

Dont know if any of you buy a big ham joint for Crimbo but this is delicious!!!!

1 nice big bone in ham joint
1 bottle full fat coca cola
1 onion
1 apple
1 orange
pack of cloves


For glaze

Soft dark brown sugar
Wholegrain mustard
Runny honey

Ok put the ham in a big pot quarter onion apple and orange and chuck in
Add a few cloves and a whole 2 litre bottle coke(must be coca cola nothing else and NOT diet coke)

Bring to a simmer cover and simmer for 21/2 hrs

Leave to cool

Remove rind from ham score fat in diamond pattern and stud with cloves

Mix brown sugar, mustard and honey together and tip over ham rubbing in well

Put in med oven and bake till dark and sticky basting every few mins

Remove from oven and when cold wrap and place in fridge

Depending on size of joint this will keep you fed till new year!!!

Ps be warned tho joints arent cheap....paid 22 quid for mine but worth it

Lol:D

Carol the Coca Cola derives from an old deep south American recipie i believe!!!

Andrea.....well turkey!!!!

Cover it in foil cook it breast side down till 45 mins before end of cooking

Cook stuffing seperate

Cover it in streaky bacon

Put lots of white wine in the gravy......no one will notice if it tastes horrid!!!!

Merry Xmas

Wow never heard of that one, but sounds nice.

It's up there with black coffee in Lamb stew and dark chocolate in chilli con carne.

I got a duck this year for a change, although I might pop out tomorrow and see if I can't get a goose (then the duck is getting the crispy peking treatment ;))
