2kg unsmoked boneless gammon joint

2l cola (not diet)

1 carrot, chopped

1 onion, peeled and quartered

1 cinnamon stick

1/2 tbsp peppercorns

1 bay leaf

GLAZE:

1 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup orange juice

1/2 cup honey

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp cloves

Put gammon in large pan and cover with cola. Add carrot, onion, cinnamon, peppercorns and bay leaf.

Bring to boil then turn down to simmer for around 2.5 hours, topping up with boiling water if necessary to keep gammon fully covered.

Carefully pour liquid away then let ham cool.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 170C (fan). Lift ham into roasting tin then cut away skin leaving an even layer of fat. Score fat all over in criss-cross pattern.

Put all glaze ingredients in small saucepan and boil together on medium heat and cool for several minutes to thicken.

Then pour onto ham and place in oven to bake for 45 minutes. Baste a couple of times.

Remove from oven and leave to cool or serve. Slice – can be served cold for the next couple of days ahead.
