Ham cooked in Coca Cola? Let's hear from those who've tried it

Good, or not? I'm thinking of doing this as our Christmas dinner for an adventurous change from the turkey, goose or duck that we usually have over here.

Never done it before, so what do you guys think? I understand that this is a fairly popular recipe in the Southern US, is that right?

Isn't pouring coke on it the way to see all the little worm cysts that are living in the pork chop?

I have not tried it, but I could see it being delicious. I use a recipe for pulled pork shoulder that involves cooking in rootbeer, and it is the most awesome stuff ever.

This is really good, but try to find Coke made with cane sugar and not HFCS. I usually fine it in the Mexican grocery store near my work.

HFCS isn't used in the European union. Its a US issue, so no problem getting "real" Coke here!

I've done this several times. I like it; makes the ham taste less salty.

It is done in the south should tell you something.

I've done ribs marinated and then cooked in Coke. It didn't taste especially coke-ey - it was more of a subtle hint. It was good with ribs, but personally I wouldn't go for it on Christmas Day.

Think of it as you think of cooking with alcohol (wine, beer, sherry, etc. etc.). Whatever you are cooking does not taste like the alcohol. The alcohol either enhances some flavors already existing or subtly adds to them.

Here's the recipe.

http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/...-coca-cola-171

I'm either going for this, or a repeat of one of my own very successful creations - roast loin of pork with bacon and cider sauce. Yum!
