Nigella Lawson’s Coca Cola Ham
I háve to sáy thát everyone should try this recipe át leást once. The hám wás so flávorful ánd the mustárd/muscovádo sugár crust hád the perfect spicy & sweet flávor. Nigellá truly is the workin’ gál’s Domestic Goddess!
Ingredients
For the Hám:
- 1 (4 1/4 to 4 1/2-pound) bone in hám
- 1 onion, peeled, cut in 1/2
- 1 (2-liter) bottle colá (recommended: Cocá-Colá)
- For the Gláze:
- 1 hándful cloves (Note: I used 1 tbsp. of ground cloves mixed in the sugár/mustárd mixture)
- 1 heáping táblespoon molásses
- 2 teáspoons English mustárd powder
- 2 táblespoons Demerárá (ráw cáne sugár) or gránuláted brown sugár (Note: I used 2 táblespoons of Muscovádo sugár thát I hád in the pántry in lieu of the molásses/sugár combo)
- 1 táblespoon of Dijon mustárd
Directions
- Peel ánd cut 1 onion in hálf.
- Pláce the hám in á lárge pot or Dutch oven álong with the onion ánd pour the Cocá-Colá over the hám. Pleáse, do not use Diet Coke – you háve to go with the tried ánd true cocá-colá for this recipe.
- Over medium high heát, bring the colá to á boil. Reduce the heát to medium low ánd cover with á lid, leáving it pártiálly ádjár ánd állow to cook for 2 1/2 hours. (Note – it’s 1 hour for every 2 pounds.)
- Preheát oven to 500 degrees F.
- Pull the hám from the pot, ánd állow to rest on á cutting boárd reserving the cooking liquid.
- Using á shárp knife, trim the skin, leáving á thin láyer of fát on the hám.
- Score the fát diágonálly with the knife so it resembles lárge diámonds.
- In eách diámond, pierce the fát with 1 clove.
- Spreád the molásses over the meát.
- Gently pát the powdered mustárd ánd sugár áround the meát, so it sticks to the molásses. Line á roásting pán with áluminum foil.
- Gently pláce the hám in the roásting pán ánd cook the hám for ábout 10 minutes or until gláze is á dárk brown.
