CROCK POT COCA-COLA PULLED PORK
This is a modified version of a friend's recipe for pulled pork. Hers is always a hit at potlucks. The only revisions I made to her original recipe were to suit my family's taste. This is the easiest, tastiest pulled pork. Set the Crock Pot before you leave the house for work and return home to a wonderful aroma and a main dish that is ready when you are. It turns out slightly sweet and smokey with a hint of heat. The Coca-Cola makes the meat fall-off-the-bone tender. I could make my own barbecue sauce but choose to use Famous Dave's Rich & Sassy sauce instead. It's easier, and my family loves it! Use your favorite brand of barbecue sauce if Famous Dave's brand is unavailable in your area. Serve on a burger bun or on its own and enjoy!

Steps:
- Place roast in a 5 quart crock pot. Season with garlic, onion, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Add liquid smoke and pour in Coca-Cola until it reaches nearly the top of the roast (or covers it depending on the cut of meat).
- Set Crock Pot on low heat and cook for 8-10 hours.
- When ready to serve, remove roast from Crock Pot to a platter. Remove any bones and trim all fat. With a fork, begin "pulling" pork apart into thin shreds. Add barbecue sauce and fold into meat.
- Serve pulled pork on a burger bun or on its own.
- Note: If preparing this dish for a potluck, pour 1 cup of Crock Pot liquid into a measuring cup and discard the remainder. Then return pulled pork to Crock Pot, set on warm or low heat setting, add 1/2 cup of reserved liquid (to keep the meat from drying out) and cover until ready to serve. If the meat is in the Crock Pot for more than one hour, add more liquid as needed for moisture.

OLD SOUTH COCA-COLA PORK LOIN
Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients except for the meat, to form a marinade. Set the pork roast in a plastic bag with a zip-type seal, pour in the marinade and seal the bag. Set the plastic bag in a serving bowl large enough to steady the roast and keep the marinade ingredients from spreading away from the roast. Let stand for 24 hours or overnight in the refrigerator, patting and turning the bag every few hours to ensure the meat marinates evenly. This helps the roast absorb the marinating liquids and creates a tender, juicy and flavorful roast. Remove roast from marinade and discard the marinade. Place roast, fat side up, on rack in roasting pan. Insert roast meat thermometer so the bulb is centered in the thickest part. Do not add water. Do not cover. Roast in a slow 325 degree preheated oven until the thermometer registers to 175 degrees. Allow 30 to 40 minutes per pound for roasting, so for a 5 pound loin roast, you would be roasting for about 2-1/2 to 3 hours. During last 1/2 hour of cooking time, brush on the glaze. If you prefer, you can just as easily cook on the grill or in the smoker. Remove from the oven and out of the pan onto a platter; cover with foil tent to seal steam and rest the meat 15 minutes before slicing and this results in a much juicier roast. NOTE: Alternatively, you can slow-roast. Instead of roasting at 325, use a slow oven at 250 - 275 degrees, and allow almost twice as long. The meat will be even more tender. Use your meat thermometer or whatever means you like to achieve desired doneness.

COCA-COLA BBQ SAUCE FOR RIBS
I love the sauce used on these BBQ'ed ribs, as does everyone that has tried them. I use the Country Style Pork Ribs and I prefer cooking them on the grill using indirect heat for hours, but I have used the oven as well. I mop the sauce on often and generously. I serve the sauce on-the-side as well. Recipe Origin - Jim Budros

COCA COLA BRISKET RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Number Of Ingredients 4
Steps:
- Oven Instructions: Preheat oven to 325°F. Pat the brisket dry with paper towels, if desired, to remove any moisture. Place it in a nonreactive roasting pan or a glass baking dish just large enough to fit the brisket. Mix Coke, chili sauce and dried onion soup mix in a bowl and pour it over the brisket. Cover the baking dish or roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil. Bake the brisket until tender, about 30 minutes per pound. Transfer brisket to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. Meanwhile, skim the fat from the surface of the pan juices and discard. Pour the defatted pan juices into a gravy boat or, if a thicker consistency is desired, pour the juices into a saucepan and simmer until reduced slightly. Trim any visible fat from the brisket, then thinly slice it against the grain. Pile the slices on a platter and pass the warm pan juices on the side. Slow Cooker Instructions: This four-ingredient recipe just got even simpler. Place the brisket in the slow cooker. Combine the remaining ingredients and pour over the brisket. Cook on low for 9 hours. Transfer the meat to a cutting board to rest. Skim any fat from the surface of the sauce. If a thicker sauce is desired, pour the sauce into a saucepan and simmer until reduced to the desired consistency. Slice or shred the brisket and serve with the sauce.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the pork on all sides with the garlic powder and plenty of salt and pepper.
- Heat the pork fat over medium-high heat in a small, heavy Dutch oven or braiser (see Cook's Note). Add the pork and fry on all sides until well browned, about 20 minutes. Add the Coca-Cola and 1/2 cup water (there should be just enough liquid to cover the sides of the meat). Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Add the tarragon, bay leaves and thyme. Cover and simmer until the pork is tender, about 1 1/2 hours; the Coca-Cola will caramelize and the liquid will evaporate completely.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred. Serve with warm corn tortillas (charred over a flame) and toppings on the side: salsa verde, diced onions, cilantro, radishes, lime wedges and avocado.

COCA-COLA BARBECUE SAUCE
This is an awesome Barbecue Sauce. The taste is "just perfect". A lot of the bottled sauces are too tangy, too strong, etc. This does not get super thick and it has more of a mild flavor. You can use it on anything but the author highly recommends it on Chicken, ribs and pork. The recipe is from Steven Raichlen, author of The "Barbecue Bible".

MARTHA STEWART COCA COLA HAM (ADAPTED FOR LAZY PEOPLE)
While watching Martha and her friend Jane prepare this ham for Easter a few years ago, I adapted the recipe slightly and now just eyeball the ingredients and make it with whatever I have on hand. I made it for a potluck with Dr. Pepper, forgot to baste it, dumped cloves randomly in it, and it still turned out great. Mostly foolproof, which is good for foolish college students and klutzy cooks alike. I am posting this mostly for my own reference, so I don't have to go hunting for a handwritten note every time I make this. I'm guessing at the yield, but it was enough to serve several (5-6) at a small potluck. I serve it throughout the year for special occasions, not just Easter. Steps 1-11 are for the regular way; Steps 12-18 are for the lazy adaptation of this recipe.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325.
- Score the ham crosswise and lengthwise, forming a crosshatch/square-cut patter about 1/4 inches deep and 1 inch apart. Place a clove in the intersection of each square.
- Place ham in an aluminum roasting pan that you have placed on a baking/cookie sheet (for stability).
- Load the ham with sugar. Use the whole pack and just glom it on. Some sugar will fall off, but keep on packing.
- Bake until sugar just begins to melt (20-30 min).
- Remove ham, pour Coca-Cola all over the ham, and baste the ham with the sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan.
- Bake for another 20 minutes.
- Combine 1 cup of pineapple juice and wine, and baste the ham.
- Bake the ham for about 15 minutes per pound, basting every 20 minutes with the juices.
- During the last 20 minutes, decorate ham with pineapple rings. Use toothpicks to hold the rings in place, and put a cherry in the center of each ring with a toothpick.
- Prior to serving, remove all toothpicks.
- The extremely lazy way:.
- Pack the brown sugar on the ham.
- Pour the Coke and Wine mixture liberally on the ham.
- Forget about the pineapples and cherries, unless you really want pineapple, in which case, stick them randomly on the ham.
- Stuff it in the oven and baste every 20 minutes.
- Cover with aluminium foil after the first basting.
- Use a meat thermometer to tell when it's done, and serve.

Tips:
- Use a variety of Coca-Cola flavors to create unique and flavorful dishes. For example, try using Coca-Cola Cherry in a cherry pie or Coca-Cola Vanilla in a vanilla cake.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. Coca-Cola can be used in both sweet and savory dishes, so feel free to get creative.
- Start with a small amount of Coca-Cola and add more to taste. The amount of Coca-Cola you use will depend on the recipe and your personal preferences.
- Be careful not to overcook dishes that contain Coca-Cola. The sugar in Coca-Cola can burn easily, so keep an eye on your food while it's cooking.
- Serve Coca-Cola dishes immediately after they are cooked. This will help to preserve the flavor and texture of the food.
