Christmas Spiced Soda Glazed Ham

Put gammon in a large pan with onion, carrot, herbs and spices. Pour over 1½ litres  (2½ pints) cola. Bring to a simmer and leave, covered, for 1½ hours.

Remove from the liquid and place in a foil lined roasting tin. Run a knife under the rind to remove and score fat in a diamond pattern.

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°fan/Gas 6. Meanwhile, put 250ml (8½ fl oz) cola in a pan and bring to the boil. Leave for 12-15 minutes until reduced to a syrupy glaze. Stir in clementine juice, mustard and chilli flakes and brush all over ham. Arrange clementine slices on top, securing with the cloves.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, basting a couple of times, until nicely glazed.
