  • Rinse the leg. Meanwhile, soak the prunes (approximately 16 pieces) in a bowl with three cups of hot water until softened.
  • Grease the roasting pan with butter. Season the cleaned leg with a little salt and pepper and 3 cloves. Then place the piece in the roasting pan.
  • Once the prunes are ready, pour half of the contents along with the water into the blender. Add a clove of garlic and a tablespoon of broth. Add one and a half cups of Coca-Cola. Add a tablespoon and a half of wine vinegar. Blend for about 30 seconds until you achieve a thick consistency. Pour this portion over the leg.
  • Repeat step 3 with the remaining ingredients. Pour this second portion over the leg, covering it almost completely.
  • Place herbs of your choice according to each cook's preference.
  • Cut the carrots in half (lengthwise) and place them on the sides of the leg. Cover the roasting pan and let it marinate overnight (approx. 10 hrs).
  • Bake at 180 to 200° Celsius for approximately 2 to 3 hours until the meat reaches the desired doneness.
  • Remember to decorate with candied cherries.
