Baked, Not Boiled, Glazed Ham

I like to cook my ham on the bone at Christmas. It has a much nicer flavour but you need a fairly large pot to do it. If you do have one large enough, make sure to soak the ham in cold water for 4 hours before cooking. Cook the ham in boiling water for 25 minutes per 450g and 30 minutes over. The same times apply to a ham that isn’t on the bone. When cooked, you can remove the fat if you choose though I like to keep it on and glaze that plus the flesh with a sticky sweet and spicy glaze. I love to put loads on and then more again halfway through cooking in the oven. Pop the ham into a preheated oven 180C or Gas Mark 4 for 40 minutes or so until the glaze has browned and looks delicious. Cooking your ham in Coke Cooking a ham in Coca Cola is actually a thing. It gives the ham a wonderful sweet flavour which, when combined with a mustard glaze, is amazing. To Cook yours in coke, you must make sure the ham is covered with the Coke when in the pot. Then cook the ham as normal.
