INGREDIENTS:
Put the joint in a deep saucepan and pour in the Guinness and Coke which should just about cover the ham. Add a little water if it doesn’t. Add the onion and bring the liquid gradually to the boil. Turn the heat down to a slow simmer and cook for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove and cool.
Preheat the oven to 225°C/425°F/Gas 8. Score the fat on the joint and brush with mustard. Roast the joint for 15 minutes until the fat is caramelised.
