I always find its a good idea to first bring it to the boil in water, then tip the water and scum out, then bring it back to the boil in Coca Cola. You can finiah off the last of the cooking in the oven.

I soak mine and then bake it in a tent of foil in the oven. Half an hour before end of cooking, I take the rind off, score the fat into diamonds, put a clove in each diamond, cover with mustard and then pat demerara sugar all over. Put back in a very hot oven to caramelise. Delicious hot with bread sauce and then lots left over for cold meats over holiday season. That is if your oven doesn't give up the ghost!!!!
