Cooking my festive cola ham tonight

Anybody else do cola ham?
I do it every year for our Xmas eve buffet dinner by boiling the ham in 2 bottles of cola for 3/4 of the time(last year I didn't have enough cola so used Dr. Pepper & it turned out fine)
It's now in the oven for the last stint- I've scored it & glazed it with honey & mustard & put peppercorns on the scored squares.
It smells divine Tilly is guarding the oven in case it escapes
Nigela seems to think it's her recipe but I've known about since I was a child

I read an article at the weekend written by Anthony Worrel Thompson, who claimed it was his recipe
Sounded nice though, hope it turns out well.

It's not his either!
It's my friend's mum's She was Jamaican & used to cook ribs in it when I was about 10 (many years ago!!) - they were lush

Sounds lovely I'm planning to have my next door neighbour and her sister for a meal round New Year so just might give that a go

Yes I always cook ham in cola, it is from Americas deep south and lush.

is that near Jamaica

Theres a Nigella Lawson recipe for this, i think she uses cherry coke though. Not tried it but i may get a ham for New Years Day and try it

Yum!

I think my ham may just be going in cola this evening !

I just had this conversation with my husband as we where putting in the gammon to part boil....ive never head of cooking with cola.....i've got pepsi max can i use that and what do i do
