Cooking A Gammon Joint in the Slow Cooker

ixia

Thanks for all your replies off to pop it in SC

Fruball

I wouldn't cook a gammon any other way now. SC gammon is divine!

Btw i tried the gammon in coke and I thought it was disgusting! Looked a revolting colour too.

Plain water with a couple of bay leaves and a good grind of pepper in mine

I'm the same as Frugal I really didn't enjoy it done in coke. I like just plain ham, I wish I had went to the market yesterday and got a ham joint I really want one now!!

Ooooh, Ive got a ham joint in, aaaand never cooked one in my sc before.....looks like today will be the day buuut is it not too tender to slice? I imagine it just falling apart into lovely, but messy looking lumps??

It does go very tender no doubt about it but the last lot I did I could still slice for my sarnies

I used to cook chicken in cola with ketchup added and it tasty just like bbq'd chicken, so the concept isn't new to me, just the gammon bit

nice :j might give that one a go in the summer sounds gorg

Seriously try the gammon (use a small one just in case ) you cannot taste coke it just gives it a lovely sweet flavour. and mine always stays a nice pink gammon colour too

If you wrap it in foil and cool it in the fridge it'll slice much better. Enjoy!
