  • 2 carrot cut into large chunks
  • 0.5 teaspoon cloves
  • 1 tablespoon mixed spice

  • 4 tablespoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put 1.3 kg Smoked gammon joint in the slow cooker, fat side up.
  2. Add 2 Carrot and 2 Onion around the side of it.
  3. Rub 1 tablespoon Mixed spice into the top of the gammon.
  4. Add 0.5 teaspoon Cloves and pour 750 ml Apple juice and 350 ml Cider (hard cider) into the slow cooker, being careful to avoid the top of the ham.
  5. Cook on high for 5 hours or low for 7 hours.
  6. Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.
  7. Remove the gammon from the slow cooker and put onto a baking tray.
  8. Using a sharp knife, score the gammon in a criss-cross pattern.
  9. Mix together 4 tablespoon Honey, 1 tablespoon Light brown sugar and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
  10. Pour the honey mixture over the gammon. Put in the oven for 30 minutes, until the top has crisped up.

Notes

  • If you didn't want to use alcohol in this slow cooker gammon joint, then you could just use apple juice and replace the cider with more apple juice.
  • Make sure you remove the plastic that coats the skin of the gammon, as this should not be cooked.
  • If you wanted to try something a little different for the glaze, then mix together some mango chutney and sweet chilli sauce and smother it on the gammon.
  • Before putting the gammon onto a baking tray, line it with foil. This will prevent the honey mixture sticking to the tray, which can be very difficult to clean.
