Roast Cola Gammon with Honey Mustard Glaze

Original/proper recipes:

Simplified combination recipe:

  • 2l full sugar cola
  • 1.6-2.2kg unsmoked gammon joint, good fat coverage
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 50g honey
  • 50g wholegrain mustard
  • 13ml sherry vinegar (or red wine, or whatever)


  1. Keeping the gammon bound in its netting, soak in water in fridge between 2 hours and overnight, this reduces the saltiness
  2. In a deep enough but snug pan (good luck), simmer the gammon in cola at 70-80C, until the middle of the gammon registers 60C (1 to 2 hours?)
  3. Mix the glaze - oil, honey, wholegrain mustard, vingar (may be able to use less, start with half measures)
  4. When gammon finished, onto chopping board, remove netting, cut/peel the skin off, and score the fat in a lovely crosshatch
  5. Baste the fat later in the glaze
  6. Roast at 200C 20 mins, add more glaze
  7. Roast until outside looks amazing (20 mins?). Goal is trying to keep the inside below 70-75C so it doesn't dry out
  8. yum
