🛒 What You Need
Ingredients
- 1kg gammon joint (or weight according to how many you are serving)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1.75L – 2L coke
Equipment
- Slow cooker
👩🍳 Making It
Step 1
Place the gammon joint in the slow cooker with the chopped carrots and onion. Pour the bottle of Coke over the top.
Step 2
Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Step 3
At the end of the slow cooking time, the gammon should be cooked all the way through; the internal temperature should reach a minimum of 65°C.
Step 4
When the gammon is ready, remove it from the liquid and leave it to stand before carving it to serve or add a glaze and put it in the oven or air fryer (see next step).
Step 5
If you decide to glaze and roast the slow-cooked gammon, preheat your oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5, or an air fryer if using (180°C).
Score the gammon joint with a sharp knife and rub some honey over it. Or alternatively, you could use maple syrup and some ground cloves or cinnamon as a glaze.
Place the scored and glazed gammon in the oven or air fryer and cook for 15 minutes in the oven or 8 minutes in the air fryer or until the skin is crisped up to your liking.
Rest for 10 minutes before carving.
