Ham In Coca Cola - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 kg mild-cure ham
    1 onion, peeled and cut in half
    1 (2 liter) bottle Coca-Cola
    for the glaze
    1 tablespoon black treacle or 1 tablespoon molasses
    2 teaspoons mustard powder
    2 tablespoons brown sugar
Preparation
    Put ham in a pan, add onion and pour over the Coke.
    Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer, put the lid on and cook for around 2 1/2 hours or around one hour per kilo of meat.
    Preheat oven to 240 C degrees.
    When ham is cooked, take it out of pan and let cool.
    Remove skin, leaving a thin layer of fat.
    Use a sharp knife to make large diamond shapes in the fat.
    Put a clove in each diamond and spread treacle over skin.
    Pat mustard and sugar onto the sticky fat.
    Bake in a foil-lined pan for around 10 minutes, or until crispy and bubbly.
