Honey, Brown Sugar and Mustard Glazed Ham
Serves 4
Prep Time 5 mins
Cooking Time 1 hr 20 mins
Ingredients
- Ham joint 625g/1lb 6oz (off the bone)
- 2 ½ litres Coca Cola (see Cook’s tips)
- 1 Dsp Honey
- ¼ Tsp Mustard powder
- ½ Tsp Dark brown soft sugar
- Place the ham in a large heavy saucepan (See Cook’s tips)
- Pour over the Coca Cola until ham is completely covered
- Bring to the boil
- Skim off scum as it comes to the boil
- Cover, but leave a slight gap for steam to escape and simmer for 1 hour 5 minutes
- Either leave the ham to cool in the Cola or take out and cool on a plate
- When ham has cooled carefully cut off the skin to expose the fat
- Use a sharp knife and score diagonally to make a diamond pattern
- Put ham into a foil container, ( See Cook’s tips) or foil lined baking tin
- Brush the honey over the scored fat
- Mix the sugar and mustard together and pat over the honey
- Cook in a preheated oven 240°C/475°F/Gas mark 9 for 10 minutes
- Take out and baste, then cook for another 5 minutes until glaze is bubbling
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly, then carve.
- Use the normal Coca Cola, not the diet or Zero
- You can use a saucepan to accommodate the size of ham your cooking, and use more or less Coca Cola, just make sure the ham is covered by the liquid
- I use the freezer foil containers
- The amount of glaze ingredients in this recipe are to cover a small joint, just double or triple for a larger one, the flavour will remain the same
- Large heavy saucepan with lid
- Foil container, or foil lined tin
- Ham joint 625g/1lb 6oz (off the bone)
- 2 ½ litres Coca Cola
- 1 Dsp Honey
- ¼ Tsp Mustard powder
- ½ Tsp Dark brown soft sugar
