Slow-cooked Gammon Ham in Coke

I have tried to cook Pork belly and chicken wings in coke before and it turned out really well, so I apply it on Gammon Ham this time.

I usually find Gammon Ham is a little bit too salty for me so I imaged cook it in coke and honey can balance the taste with a sweet and lovely flavor and coke can makes the meats very tender!

Ingredients :

Gammon Ham 2.5lbs

Onion 1

Coke ( about 2L )

star anise 2pcs

Mustard ( any kind ) 2 Tbs

Brown sugar 2Tbs

Honey 4 Tbs

Ground Cinnamon 1 teaspoon

sqeezy ginger paste 1/2 Tbs

.with full instruction please refer to the youtube video as below

Instruction :

Place the ham in a large pot with cold water, bring to boil for 5 mins to get rid of the salt on the meat

drain the meat, place onion and star anise in a slow cooker, place the ham on top and fill the pot with coke until the meat is covered

put the lid on and put it into a preheated oven, set 180F and cook for 2 hours. After 2 hours, remove the ham from the pot, leave the ham to cool for a while on a plate and then score the meat in a check pattern

to make the glaze, mix together all the other ingredients, stir well until its all combined, then brush the glaze over, turning to completely coat the meat.
