Coca Cola Corned Beef Slow Cooker

This slow cooker ham recipe uses a few key ingredients including star anise and black pepper. But it's coating the slow cooker ham with coke that gives it the real extra flavour.

Coca cola ham might sound bizarre at first, but trust us it is! The addition of the sweet fizzy drink brings out the flavour of the ham joint. You'll need 2 litres of coca cola for a 1.5kg boneless gammon joint. Prep time for this dish is just five minutes and cooking time is around four hours 35 minutes.

Make a glaze with mustard and honey to cover the ham with once cooked and then place in the oven for 25-30 mins. It's a little extra effort but it will be worth it.

Put gammon joint into slow cooker and add the cola, sugar, star anise and black peppercorns. Top up with water if needed. Cook on high for 4hr.
Whisk together the treacle, mustard powder and honey until fully combined. Once the ham is cooked, drain and discard the cola and allow the ham to cool. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan).
Once the ham is cooled remove the skin, leaving some of the fat behind and score it. Brush over the glaze mixture and put into oven. Cook for 25-30min until golden brown. Keep brushing the glaze over regularly until it is all used up. Remove from the oven and allow to cool before slicing.
