Ingredients

  • 2kg The Co-operative British unsmoked/smoked gammon joint

  • 2 litres Cola

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 2 bay leavesFor the glazeabout 20 cloves

  • 2 tbsp black treacle

Method

  1. Remove the outer packaging and place the meat in a large pan.

  2. Pour over the cola and add the onions and bay leaves.

  3. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 2½ hours (allow 30 minutes per 500g, plus 30 minutes).

  4. Preheat the oven to 220°C / fan oven 200°C/ gas mark 7.

  5. Line a roasting tin with foil. Remove the ham from the pan and place in the tin.

  6. Some hams have a cookproof plastic strip around the meat; if yours has this, remove it now, then remove the dark layer of rind.

  7. Score the fat into a diamond pattern and press a clove into each diamond.

  8. Warm the treacle in a small pan and drizzle over the ham. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden.
