I'd probably bite the bullet and chuck the gravy, sorry.

as for the ham.....

ham sandwiches, toasties, grilled ham and eggs for brekkie, ham omelet, chicken ham pie???

Hi there

Sorry to hear about the ham - i had a disaster a good few years ago with a Delia recipe - it was totally inedible - even for OH who has a cast iron stomach - it cost a fortune and went badly wrong

YOu could freeze the rest of the ham so it doesnt have to be eaten straight away.

You could use it in a quiche, tortilla or pizza topping. That way, if the taste is overwhelming, it only needs to be used in small amounts.

I would chop the meat up small and bag it up in the freezer, and use it in small amounts.

Not sure what to do with the gravy - is there any chance it could be added in small amounts to flavour a casserole?

Sorry i cant be more helpful- i have never done the ham in coke thing - i know Nigella has a recipe for it though, and maybe someone will be along in a minute who has made it already and can help you out

Best Wishes

Trin

the stock is really sweet when you make this, too sweet for gravy, but when i made it i used the stock to make a hot and sour soup, the sweetness really worked with the chinesey flavours and it wasn't too overpowering..

The unuseably sweet stock is one of the reasons I don't do ham in coke often - so ditch the gravy.

However I find the ham itself lovely - maybe the grilling it is whats spoiled it - hw is the rest? I usually simmer for a couple of hours and then glaze and bake for 30-50 mins to brown

DON'T BIN IT! It's meant to be good for the base of a black bean sauce. I'll find links

My DH & DD love the ham in cola, I brown it off in the oven with a coating after.

I did actually make gravy from it, it's sitting in the fridge waiting for inspiration. Think I will cut the ham up and freeze it to use in something else.

I don;t use coke - next time you could try cooking in apple juice. It makes a lovely gravy, and I use what's left to make a bacon and lentil soup

I have 2 gammon joints and a bottle of cola as I have seen that its really good when cooked in coke...

Is it ok to cook in the slow cooker? If so, how long for and how much cola should I add please?

I have only seen recipes for it done on the hob.

Thanks
