My Honey, Maple & Mustard Glazed Gammon

I make this glazed gammon/ham every year for Christmas. It's first boiled in an aromatic cola mixture then basted with a honey, maple & mustard glaze and baked in the oven until golden and sticky. Delicious!

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Fill a large saucepan (that has a lid) up with cola around halfway and add in all the spices and veg listed in the spiced cola mix, bring to a simmer. Give it a stir to combine the spices into the cola so there's no clumps.

* Step 2

Place the joint of gammon/ham into the cola and allow it to come to the boil. Top up with a bit more cola if needed, don't overfill the saucepan though as it'll boil over. Place the lid over and turn down the heat slightly to medium. Allow to bubble away for 30-50 mins (the time will depend on the size of the ham), then carefully turn the ham over onto the other side, and top up with more cola if needed then leave to simmer in the cola for another 30-50 mins (again guage this time by size).

* Step 3

Remove the gammon/ham from the heat and discard the cola. Leave it to rest on a board whilst you preheat the oven to 200 (gas).

* Step 4

Cut off any string remaining on the ham and place it into a high sided baking tray. Place in the carrots, onion and celery then put the gammon rind side up on top of the veg. Fill the bottom of the baking tray with a little water (about 1 inch high will do).

* Step 5

Using a really sharp knife cut a diamond pattern into the rind (if not already done). Glaze the top with some of the maple, honey and mustard mixture using a basting brush then bake in the oven for 60-100 minutes, (again depending on size of the joint), every so often returning to baste it more, so you build up a golden and delicious glaze.
