Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Put the gammon in a large pan with the onion, sliced carrot, cinnamon stick, peppercorns and bay leaf. If your gammon is from the supermarket and wrapped in a plastic sleeve to help keep its shape, leave it on. It's heat resistant and won't harm you
* Step 2
Pour the cola in and bring to the boil
* Step 3
Turn down to low, cover but vent and let gently simmer for 2.5 hours, adding boiling water if the liquid level drops below the top of the gammon joint
* Step 4
Preheat the oven to gas 5 / 190C /375F and line a roasting tin with foil
* Step 5
Lift the gammon out of the pan and let settle on a plate while you discard the rest of the pan contents. You can take the plastic off at this point
* Step 6
Put the gammon into the roasting tin, then trim off some of the fat to leave an even layer. Score in a criss-cross / diamond pattern
* Step 7
Mix the glaze ingredients together and pour half over the gammon
* Step 8
Roast for 15 minutes then pour the remaining glaze over and roast another 15 minutes
* Step 9
Baste and roast a final 15 minutes
* Step 10
Take out of the oven and let rest in the tin for 10 minutes
* Step 11
Baste the gammon again with the tray juices before carving
* Step 12
