I can't stand coca-cola but the one cooked in ginger ale on last nights prog looked very nice, recipe is on the bbc food message boards.

I was wanting to make the ginger ale ham for christmas.

Unfortunately I didn't pay close attention to details on the programme because I assumed the recipe would be in the book (which I have), it isn't:rolleyes: . I also can't find it on the bbc website - could you point me in the right direction.

many thanks

Gammon is cured pork. Ham is a cooked gammon. So really there's no difference, they're different names for the same thing but at different stages of the process.WS100

Sorry for sounding stupid but how can ham be a cooked gammon if you still have to cook it yourself?? I am not the brightest at the best of times but this has me stumped.

I think that gammon is cured raw pork (similar to bacon but leg not belly or back) and when you cook it it is cooked gammon. I think ham is cooked and cured at the same time and you therefore don't need to cook it. So, when we say we are boiling a ham - strictly speaking we really mean gammon

I am thinking of cooking gammon on Christmas eve, then plan to eat it cold over christmas with pickles, which types of pickles go with gammon and cold turkey for boxing day???

does anyone have any suggesstions???

We're having damson chutney with ours But pickled peaches would be good too. I think something fruity is a good bet.

Hi

If I'm in the wrong place please move me!!

Having family meal tomorrow and I have got a 5kg Gammon which I plan to cook in the slow cooker. As its much bigger than the ones I normally do in SC I wondered if I needed to cook for longer? Or is that a stupid question????

Also does anyone know how to work out how much veg & spuds to do per person? I'm cooking for 8 adults & 2 kids. I want there to be enough for everyone without there being too much left over!!
