Oak Smoked Gammon Hock - Help please!

Hi all!

I got a little over excited in the local farm shop yesterday and accidentally picked up an oak smoked gammon hock rather than a plain one.

My question is that I want to cook it in the slow cooker - normally I just bung the joint in with some cider/apple juice but do I need to do anything differently with it being an oak smoked joint? Am happy to revise cooked method if necessary (eg do in oven?)

Thank you for all your expertise! :beer:

    I've cooked smoked joints the same way as unsmoked. Very yummy!

    Do I need to soak it or is that for salted joints?

    Thank you!

    Should be fine without soaking
