Slow cooker cola ham

This slow cooker ham is cooked in cola until tender before being smothered in a honey and mustard glaze. Using the slow cooker instead of the oven is a great way to save energy, and giving the joint a quick blast under the grill at the end makes the glaze deliciously sticky and golden.
