I don't know the proper answer to this but personally I would - hope it tastes good!

If it is going to be boiling then it will probably come over the top of it anyway, perhaps you could turn it during cooking?

I assume you mean coke the drink

I fancy doing my gammon this way this year.

Can it be cheap coke or should it be Coca-cola?

That's what I was wondering. My kids won't be happy if I use their coca-cola though!!!

Our gammons are in too, one in black treacle and one in honey and cloves.
Daz is making the sorbet as we speak, his contribution to making xmas dinner

its okay to use cheaper versions of coke ..... just dont use any of the diet varieties.

also i wouldn't put water to top up .... just give gammon a turn around every hour or so.

lovely southern taste
