Method

• step 1

  Put the gammon, onion and peppercorns in a large pan and cover with the cola, topping it up with enough water to cover the gammon if there isn’t enough liquid. Bring to the boil, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 2 hrs.

• step 2

  Drain and leave to cool for 20 mins until the gammon is cool enough to handle. Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Trim the fat of the gammon so it’s around ½cm thick, and lightly score all over in a criss-cross pattern.

• step 3

  Combine together all the ingredients for the glaze, and brush all over the gammon. Roast the gammon for 15-20 mins until the fat is crisp and golden. Leave to rest for 10 mins, then slice.
