Hamming it up are we?

[eleanor2]

Yep! Such a simple recipe. Granddaughter loves gammon, a nice surprise for tea tonight Dt.

Eleanor, that looks great, I love doing the gammon in the slow cooker, I sometimes add bay leaves and 7up free - if I fancy I would maybe use the cider instead - finish it off in the oven with the cloves and some sugar free marmalade - enjoy it later, looks great

I use to love gammon at that age!
This one isn't bad....

duckies, yes I really fancy the cider version. I was wondering whether o.k for my granddaughter? I think per h asp the alcohol is negligible though they?

[eleanor2]

That recipe looks absolutely gorgeous going by the ingredients Dt! Big joint!

Don't worry - the alcohol in the cider will be driven off by the cooking.

[ducksie]

As diddlydoo says, the cider will burn off but it may not be a taste that your grand daughter would like, there would still be that stronger flavour. the alcohol would be gone from the cider though :)

Not necessarily

Especially in a slow cooker. Not much escape route for the alcohol to evaporate.

I put the gammon joint / boiling bacon in my pressure cooker with a litre of apple juice and cook on high for 40 minutes. Much nicer than slow cooking the same way.

This recipe sounds lovely, I live on my own so I will try it with a small gammon joint, it will easily make a couple of meals, soup and sandwiches, thanks for the idea.

My daughter in law cooks gammon to die for. She does it in her slow cooker with strongbow cider.
