Slow cooker gammon

Is the glass of dry sherry for me or the cooking pot lol. Thanks again to all. I'll report back in the New Year.

There is only one way to cook gammon.

Thank you phoenix, never forgotten.

I always do mine (unsmoked) in the oven now, but it’s usually for having cold, not for Christmas dinner. About 20 minutes before the end, I take the skin off, score the fat into diamonds, coat with a glaze of marmalade, brown sugar, mustard and allspice. Put back in a slightly hotter oven. Smells divinely Christmassy for those last 20 minutes!

I always do my gammon in the pressure cooker, takes half an hour, cooked in orange juice. I don't bother with glazing and roasting as it is for eating cold.

Phoenix was spot on, exactly what happened when I used to cook a gammon. Mess everywhere and then the fridge too full to squeeze it into.

Thank you Callistemon21 I can't do Christmas without it. I hope phoenix is somewhere watching us.

Yes, we must raise a glass of sherry to her 🙂

Mine's going in the slow cooker tomorrow - if it fits!

I think I'll pour a bottle of dry cider over it.

One year, my MIL stood over me as I prepared it, to cook it in a large pan with a carrot or two, an onion and some peppercorns, telling me I was doing it all wrong. I'll have another glass of sherry to toast my MIL too. I did love her, really!

We’ve just had slow coked ham hock, enough for two, it cost £4, yum.
