How to make cola ham with maple & mustard glaze 

Very late reply but yes you can. We do this every Christmas

Yes.

Hi Bruce how much fluid / juice did you have. I'd say a slow cooker is the best way and about 1/3 full. You can add boiling water if the level gets low. I've never had it dry

@@jackjamieson1120 Cheers Jack, i had the ham completely covered with cola (2L) and topped up with water for 2.5 hours, then baked as per instructions, it tasted great but was a bit dry, it was a good joint of gammon, i did the whole the whole thing again 2 days ago with a cheaper piece but covered with foil in the oven for the first 30 mins (still basting) as per recipe and left uncovered for the last 15, it was much more moist this time. thank you for your suggestion re slow cooker, will try that next time, thanks

@@bruceaylward7768 hi Bruce thanks for your kind reply. The slow cooker with its lid on seems to keep the moisture in better. Can always roast for last 30mins or so to crisp up the outside

The artificial sweeteners in a diet cola can create a strange chemical taste and it needs the sugar in regular cola to create a sticky glaze.

@GoodFood Thank you for your reply; I do add a marmalade or honey mustard glaze for sweetness anyway, so will probably try diet coke for once and see.
