Coca Cola Ham

Now slow cooked cola ham doesn’t sound too appealing however we tried it at the weekend and boy is it good. This is the only way to cook gammon/ham.

As you already know we visited Highwood Rare Breeds on Friday evening to pick up an order of Berkshire pork in various cuts and joints. One of which was a 1.2kg gammon joint ideal for the slow cooker.

Cooking and preparation couldn’t be simpler, season your gammon with salt and pepper, stick it in the pot, add enough coca cola to almost cover the meat and leave on low power all day.


As easy as it gets but wow. We served this with fresh steamed baby vegetables and it was quite simply amazing. The quality of the pork really shone through and the cooking process created a sweet, juicy ham which was easy to carve and went down a treat. The little bit that was left over made excellent sandwiches yesterday.
