I cooked the meat in the saucepan as don’t have a slow cooker. Instead of Coke I used 2x 500ml cans of cider and 400ml water, and studied the meat with cloves.

Wonderful tasting meat once oven cooked with mustard and honey.

The liquid I skimmed the fat off added a cinnamon stick and boiled for 5 mins, made a lovely hot cider drink to accompany the meat meal.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for taking the time to comment, always great to get feedback.

I have included the suggestion of stock or beer within the main post(I’ve previously used cider – but settled on this method) I have also corrected the in-text errors, thank you for pointing those out as they often slip through the net.

In regards to the glaze, I’ve found the surplus ‘gammoned coke’ offsets the need for more honey, but interesting point on the mustard (the amount I’ve specified suited me, but I suppose different strokes for different folks!)

Cheers, James

1. Since I loathe Coca Cola (and Pepsi), I would just cook the gammon in a normal vegetable stock. I don’t know if you want to add this option for other people like me, or just for general use – apart from anything else, that much Coca Cola has to be bad for you (but see under “2. literals” below). However beer is also an excellent alternative.

2. Literals &c.:
para 3: “Once either steps have been completed..” – should be “Once either step has been competed …”, and
“Dispose of most of the cook” probably ought to be “Dispose of (Throw away ?) most of the Coca Cola”, but there may be some who would take a harsher view of your cooking skills, and
“Pre-heat your over to 180c” should of course read “your oven”

3. Basically this is, as you say, a delicious, easy and fairly cheap dish – but I find that you need more honey and a lot more mustard.

Thanks for this anyway, and I look forward to looking at your other offerings.
Cheers, Andrew
