    I did a gammon joint in the SC the other day ~ 6 hours on high with a couple of bay leaves, a few shallots that I had in the fridge & some black pepper ~ the meat was lovely & I used the stock to make soup :drool:

    Ps. not sure of the size/weight of the gammon but it was £4.99 from Aldi.

    The best gammon I have ever tasted is cooked in the slow cooker with an onion and a bottle of coke .........I know it sounds odd but its absolutely lush :D

    lol i know it sounds weird but the coke adds a delicious sweetness to the gammon (like honey I guess)

    Ham joint done in the slow cooker is the best way to cook it.

    Hassle free and whatever you cook it in - it is invariably tasy.

    I usually put half an inch on cider in with mine - the smell as it cooks is fab!

    Yeah! But everything I've read says it has to be full fat coke. Hmm! Maybe I really ought to give it a try.

    I cooked mine at Christmas in the SC with a bottle of pear cider that had been hanging around for a while, it was lovely! I cooked it overnight, then peeled off the skin, cut diamonds in the top, brushed wholegrain mustard and honey on top and baked it for long enough to make a nice crust. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
