I got a 2kg gammon joint in Mr T's whoopsied from £15 to £7, did in the SC on a bed of onions and carrots, covered with 2 litres of Coca Cola. then glazed with honey and demerara sugar and finished in the oven with roast potatoes, . Delicious, and after DD24, DS22, DD18 and their respective partners had tucked in, there's not even enough left for a sandwich! I do love it when they enjoy their food.

Can I do anything with the leftover cola? Didn't add a stock cube or anything except the base veg.

Hello, I have done this in a slow cooker a couple of times. Once I used a can of coke and another time I used a 500 ml bottle. I'm not entirely sure how long I cooked it for but I would have put it on probably between 7 and 8 and then not eaten it until about 7 at night. It was so lovely! Enjoy!

I just topped it up until it just covered the gammon and add an onion and a carrot both halved, but do it quite regularly and it is lovely. Also gammon in apple juice! Yum Yum

OK I have put both joints in, covered in cola and got carried away and put in a few cloves, black pepper, a few mustard seeds and a few slivers of orange rind

Fingers crossed

I have 2 gammon joints and a bottle of cola as I have seen that its really good when cooked in coke...

Is it ok to cook in the slow cooker? If so, how long for and how much cola should I add please?

I have only seen recipes for it done on the hob.

Thanks

Use the cola to clean your loo (the phosphoric acid in it is good for that ) and cook your gammon in apple juice - better fro you and delicious

We have an existing thread on this, so one of us will merge it later.

LOL I remember you posting something similar before

I did it... It has an unusual flavour and kids liked it, even DD1 who doesn't enjoy meat. I liked it but wouldn't rave about it like some... I will def try the apple juice next time

It's my age :rotfl: I've not tried gammon in coke, but I'm pretty sure gammon in apple juice (or cider :beer: ) will be preferred by my family

I was enjoying a drink of dandelion & burdock (Asda own brand) the other day and thought "Hmmmmmm - I wonder?".

It was delicious, with a kind of beery flavour.

I can imagine that gammon done in dandelion and burdock would be amazing.... much better than done in coke... may try that in the future...

anyone done gammon in Tizer? :rotfl:
