Place the leg in the apple juice and marinate for 24hours in the fridge.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius
Place the leg with the apple juice in a heavy based saucepan and add the Coca-Cola.
Cover the lid and bake slowly for about 4 hours until tender and cooked.

Spread the marmalade over the leg and return it to the oven, without the lid.
