Best Honey Mustard Slow Cooker Gammon Joint In Cola Recipes

SLOW-COOKER HONEY MUSTARD GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Remove skin and excess fat from ham. Make cuts in ham about 1 inch apart and 1/4 inch deep in diamond pattern. Place ham in slow cooker.
• In small bowl, mix brown sugar, honey, mustard and apple juice. Brush over ham.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 hours or until meat thermometer inserted in center reads 140°F.

GLAZED GAMMON

Steps:

• Put the gammon in a large, deep saucepan. Add the tied herbs, onion, carrots, celery, peppercorns and cloves. Pour over enough cold water to cover the meat, then bring to the boil, cover with a lid, and lower to a gentle simmer for 1 hr 15 mins. Turn off the heat and leave the ham to sit in the liquid for 30 mins.
• Remove from the liquid (this makes a delicious soup stock) and leave to cool until cold enough to handle. Peel off the thick layer of skin on the gammon to reveal a layer of fat. Discard the skin and score the fat in a criss-cross pattern with a sharp knife.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the ham in a roasting tray lined with foil. Mix together the mustard, honey and sugar in a bowl, then generously brush half over the ham. Roast for 15 mins, then brush with the remaining glaze. Return to the oven for a further 20-30 mins or until sticky and brown. Leave to cool for 15 mins before carving into thick slices.
