Put coca cola in, what about chutney too?

Can't think of any reason not to unless you want to determine what the coke is like on its own on this occasion you can always try some chutney another time.

In the meantime either make some chutney you fancy see the oldstyle board for lots of recipes. Or keep an eye out for some reduced ones each time you shop they always seem to crop up and can be used for adding flavour to the cooking process of all sorts of meat cuts and great for dolloping into casseroles as the potatoes tend to draw the flavour of them.

Cook it in Coca Cola the acid tenderises the gammon wonderfully. NB do not use "diet" it has to be the full sugar version as the artificial sweetners react with heat.

JUst got a gammon joint to SC. Should I cut off the fat before I start cooking it? How long should I soak it for?

Hi JackieO! I've cooked gammon in the SC a few times, but although it was very tender (i.e. falling to bits!) it somehow didn't seem very moist even though there was obviously some water in the SC. We've decided we prefer it done on the hob! But I'm sure other folk will feel it's best done in the Sc and maybe be able to tell me where I went wrong. (I hope.)

Penny-Pincher!!

We cooked a gammon joint yesterday in the SC and was delicious! Ours didnt seem dry and when storing in the fridge we wrap in greaseproof paper and this seems to keep it moist for a few days.

Hiya mummy JackieO

I do mine in the SC - in apple juice (which makes a fab stock for veg soup)

If you overdo it - it still tastes gorg, but it doesn't carve well. If you want to carve it, then keep an eye on how well its doing.
