Gammon & Coke

Do you mean you took the band off before cooking or it fell apart after cooking? If before, then you're meant to cook it with the band holding it together for that reason, if after, then maybe you cooked it too long? I just buy a bog standard smoked gammon they have in all the supermarkets at this time of year, they were on offer for 10 quid.

Sainsburys basic gammons dont have plastic on them and neither will any of the other supermarkets gammon, I find it is only the round bacon joints that have the plastic on them

I am going to cook mine in the slow cooker this year, will be easier than in a pan

The MSEer in me says whichever is cheapest/you already have :money:

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread to give you more ideas

Cooking gammon in coke tomorrow, have no treacle for glaze, is syrup any use?

kittywight

i do this

cherry coke is fabulous for it .... i dont add other ingredients though, i just slowcook the gammon in the coke, take it out,
then i boil the cherry coke up until it goes like syrup, then i pour on top of gammon then bake it


so so so goood

does this only work with gammon or could I use a joint of pork? I think I'd cook it in the slowcooker with a can of coke.

Do you think you could do Gammon in coke in the slow cooker?

Would it be nicer?

missindecisive

yes I have. It makes the gammon a little sweeter to taste. Wouldn't bother again though as my son refused to eat it when he found out !
