Instructions
Coca Cola Ham
Prepare - in a large pot or dutch oven, place the ham and onion inside. Pour the Coca-Cola over top of the ham.
Simmer - bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer cooked ham for about 2 hours. Cover loosely with lid, rotating ham so it's evenly cooked. For uncooked ham, simmer for approx 30 minutes per pound (500g). Allow ham to slightly cool before scoring.
Prepare Glaze - choose your favorite ham glaze method, prepare and set aside.
Score Ham - remove ham skin (rind), leaving a layer of fat. Score the ham in a diagonal pattern. Place a whole clove in each diamond intersection.
Glaze - using a brush, glaze the whole ham. Keep some glaze aside to baste while baking or for serving with.
Bake - place the ham in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 minutes (until the skin crisps up).
Serve - remove from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Carve and serve with any remaining glaze or sauce of your choice.
Honey Mustard Glaze
Place the ingredients into a saucepan and cook over medium heat until smooth. Brush over ham before baking and baste periodically while cooking.
Maple Bourbon Glaze
Place ingredients into a saucepan and stir to combine. Simmer over medium heat for approx 7 minutes until slightly thickens (it will thicken as it cools). Brush glaze evenly over the ham. Save glaze for additional brushing or to serve with ham
Treacle Glaze
Using a brush, glaze with the treacle. Mix the Mustard Powder and Dark Brown Sugar together. Sprinkle the mustard mixture overtop of the ham so it sticks to the treacle glaze.
Notes
Optional - Add 2 Star Anise Seeds to the Coca Cola mixture for a different twist.
