SOMEBODY??? Drank the "real" Coke reserved for cooking the gammon, shoved 2 tins strongbow cider instead, in with the smoked gammon in the slow cooker. When the mustard and brown sugar glaze go over it, am hoping it is tasting ok. What do you think??!

There's 163,000 results for gammon in cider on Google, so it will be wonderful.

Apple and pork's a classic combination, coke and pork's only a recent innovation.

I used apple juice at Christmas, then did the brown sugar and it was lovely!
