Thought it was a ham joint, it's pork - slow cooker help

Spendless · 2015-01-06 17:09:27

Mr S informed me he'd bought a ham joint from the butchers stalls at our market. I thought it looked like pork when he fetched it home,but believed either it had been labelled ham or the butcher had told him it was, so today I put it in the slow cooker all day. Came home, having been out all day and realised it was pork…

Gammon & ham are in practice the same. They are both "cured" with brine & spices.
Strictly speaking gammon is when the whole pig (or a large part) is cured, then jointed. Ham is the leg, cured as a joint.
What makes a difference to the flavour is the spices used in the cure, and whether they are smoked or not.
