I haven't tried this but I might consider it but I don't want to ruin a perfectly good ham just to see how terrible it is.

>>18821423
seems pretty baste to me

>>18821423
All of these soft-drink ham recipes are memes from the 1950's when clueless housewives knew nothing about how to make a glaze.
They taste like shit compared to a simple glaze made with honey, brown sugar, and clove.

>>18821452
>clove
But why would soft drink companies intentionally mislead 1950s housewives?

>>18821423
I mean, it'd probably taste just fine. It's just a sweet glaze essentially when it's cooked off I imagine for the ham. Like a worse honey. Or maybe better. Who knows.

If you aren't retarded, there's nothing wrong with using soda for cooking. I keep a few cans of coca-cola in the fridge for simple sauces and stuff because the sweet/sasparilla flavor works pretty well with some stuff.

>I mean, it'd probably taste just fine.
It would be waaay to fucking sweet.

>>18821423
It's good, I have tried it before. I prefer coca cola as a glaze for my hams.

very good. not a meme.

I'm a 51 year old fart telling anon how it is.

>>18821854
its not as sweet as you may think it would be. its comparable to a honey ham glaze.

>>18821460
Profits.

>>18821434
Gross.
>>18821448
Lol.

>>18821872
How do you reduce it? And how much do you reduce it?
Interested.

Cola and Dr. Pepper are surprisingly good flavor complements to ham.

I have done a Coke and Glenlivet glaze in the pan a couple of times. If you're going to do it on a whole ham I think you would have to reduce it first. Just pouring it on and leaving it on the oven for an hour and a half would be dumb.

I have done a Coke and Glenmoranange glaze in the pan a couple of times. If you're going to do it on a whole ham I think you would have to reduce it first. Just pouring it on and leaving it on the oven for an hour and a half would be dumb.

>>18821423
The taste is similar to a Ham basted with sprite
>>18821434
unsurprisingly, soda+milk just tastes like a melted float

>gash fat

>>18821423
Never tried it but you'd be surprised how good lemon lime soda goes with pork, a lot of Filipino pork barbecue has sprite in its marinade.

My grandmother uses some 7-Up for creating a ham sauce. It's delicious.

>>18823689
that's what that word means

Didn't click the pic, but I've had a ham glazed in reduced ginger ale syrup rather than 7-Up. My ex is an Amerinigress and that family find ways to put fizzy sugar water in things, from 7-Up cake (think like tres leches, but all the leches are 7-Up) to Dr. Pepper ribs to fucking ORANGE GODDAMN FANTA VINAIGRETTE, they will put that shit in anything. No wonder "diabetes runs in the family."

we do dr pepper chicken wings. its actually pretty good for a once and a while thing

>>18821423
Holy shit, my grandmother used to make this. I had no idea it was a thing, I just thought it was a quirky recipe she made up.

Hot.

>>18823689
Describes your mum's pretty well!

>>18825096
This is actually really good the only problem with that is heating up the carbonated beverage turns it into Chernobyl

>>18823899
Dr. Pepper ribs are phenomenal. Make some Dr. Pepper pulled pork if you have the chance.

>>18822945
which Glenmo?

>>18825096
cold ham and cheese with a cuppa hot dr. pepper is a good meal and if you disagree you're a nancy and Nancy's get slapped around.

>>18821872
What are the advantages of soda as opposed to just a more conventional glaze?
To me, as someone who doesn't drink soda, it doesn't seem worth buying soda just for this, but I would try it if it really is that good.

My grandma always cooked hams this way growing up, except she would use a can of Sprite instead. Always tasted good to me. If she didn't have Sprite, she'd use a can of beer instead.

>>18826467
it's just putting dissolved sugar on meat, it's not something new
salty/savoury/sweet can be a good combo

it should be noted that you should be using a drink with cane sugar rather than corn syrup to match the original

>>18826467
As >>18826782 says it’s just sugar with some favouring. Cherry coke works well too. Just make sure you don’t use a sugar free version.
I am aware that someone has done this with Monster and it’s been quite good too (allegedly)

cool spot was the original red pill

>>18825108
Oh, I'm aware. Those ribs were quite nice, despite being oven cooked rather than cooked outdoors/smoked. The vinaigrette was an absolute travesty but as I despise sweet dressings on salads, others might like orange Fanta vinaigrette.
I've made watermelon chicken wings once using watermelon soda and a packet of watermelon Kool-Aid but was told by the ex that while they were good af, I could never bring them to a cook out because racism.

boomer pilk

>>18821423
Baste in sugar, water, and vague hint of citrus? Doesn't sound bad, just not good.

>>18821423
This is literally how my mother makes a ham in the year 2023. Quite tasty, I always liked it.

>>18821434
It's actually good, I've had it.
>>18821423
It was weird but not toally unpleasant. Weird 50s recipes like these are very hit or miss.

When I was a small child, hot cranberry Sierra mist was a good winter drink after sledding in my backyard
