I couldn't resist this - I had to share this recipe with you this morning.  Please try this out on the fire in a pot - remember to slowly cook it as the secret.

Enjoy the weekend everyone.  Let me know what you thought of the interesting ingredient - coca cola -  just to marinade and keep it moist.
