Ingredients

1 kg Gammon
2 L Coca-Cola
1 Onion, chopped
1 Carrot, chopped
1 Celery stick, chopped
7 Garlic cloves
6 Peppercorns
3 Star anise
2 Bay leaves
10 Whole cloves
1 tsp Seven Colours Grill Seasoning™
40 Whole cloves, for studding

Ingredients for the glaze

¼ cup (60 ml) Cooking liquid from the gammon
¼ cup (60 ml) Brown sugar
1 cup (200 ml) Coca-Cola
1 Tbsp (15 ml) Wholegrain mustard

Method

Place the gammon in a large casserole pot. Add the Coca-Cola, onion, carrot, celery, garlic cloves, peppercorns, star anise, bay leaves, 10 whole cloves, and Seven Colours Grill Seasoning™. Cover with a lid and simmer for 90 minutes.
Remove the gammon from the pot and allow it to cool slightly. Peel off the skin, leaving the fat layer intact. Score the fat in a diagonal criss-cross pattern to form diamonds, then stud each diamond with a whole clove.
In a small saucepan, combine 60 ml of the cooking liquid, brown sugar, Coca-Cola and wholegrain mustard. Simmer until slightly thickened.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Place the prepared gammon in a roasting dish and pour the glaze over it. Roast for 20 minutes, basting every 5 minutes, until golden, sticky and caramelised. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
