Thank you Nigella

I was despatched to the garage today to fetch some Coca Cola as my wife was fiddling about with a slow cooker.

Many hours later, with a nice bottle of wine, I tasted the results of my mission.

Together with some saute cream potatoes and asparagus this made a superb meal.

Yes Peter, that is a great way to make ham. We've used that recipe a couple of times now and enjoyed it at friends' too. Very yummy!

Don't be silly. Everyone knows corned beef is the perfect match for cherry 7UP. :icon_rolleyes:

PC, we all know you just drink the Cola because you're not allowed it normally.

:blush: I actually went a bit crazy over Christmas, some days drinking as much as two whole cans. I had some Coke left over at New Year so gave them to my in-laws to keep them out of harm's way! I eat too much sweet stuff as it is and I don't want any more fillings!!

What kind of ham do you use? And I don't understand the bit where she says remove the skin.

 

[antdad]

A less processed piece of ham may still have skin & bone attached, unlike those square legged boneless pigs.

We just used some gammon from Tescos.

In a slow cooker for several hours. Skin peeled of after removal from slow cooker, dark brown sugar was pressed into the fat, then it was finished off in oven for about 45 minutes.
