Gammon with ginger beer instead of coke?

BlondeHeadOn

Just to let you know I tried this over the weekend, and it was delish - the gammon was so tender it hardly needed cutting, and didn't taste salty at all but had a tang of ginger that was very moreish. I think I will definitely be doing this one again!

Thanks everyone for your help.

did this on christmas day (well cooked and glazed it on christmas eve then gave it a blast in the oven on the day) - was very well received indeed, ate all the leftovers and i'd go so far as to say i liked it more than the coke version. :T :j

Hey guys - the link to the nigella recipe is no longer working and I didn't write it down - does anyone have a list of ingredients/directions so I can cook this for my christmas buffet tomorrow night!!!????

I've tried the coke one many times before and loved it but feel the need for change!

Please help!!

Hi Victoria,

Welcome to MSE :hello:

Is this the recipe you're looking for? Nigella's ham in ginger ale

I tried Nigella's latest xmas ham recipe today and have to say that it's the best I've ever tasted yet :drool:

Placed the ham in roughly 1pt red wine to 3 pts water and added peppercorns, fennel seeds, crushed garlic, star anise, quartered onion and couple sticks celery. I think she added a fresh fennel too but I didn't have one. Simmered for 3 hrs.

Sliced off the skin once cool and scored the fat. Made up a glaze of cranberry sauce (HM) smoked paprika, cinnamon and a splash of red wine vinegar. Baked at 200C for 45mins.
