Directions
This recipe was a great find. Although it is called ‘Slow Cooker Ham with Beer and Maple Syrup’ we managed to improvise and used normal oven to replace the slow cooker.
We boiled the gammon whilst eating breakfast then popped it in a pot with the rest of the ingredients and into the oven for the rest of the day. The house smelt delicious and it was a pleasure to be the one who had to go and baste it every now and again.
After the twelve hours the gammon basically fell apart and we scoffed it with some parsnip and potato mash, cabbage and carrots. The kids demanded that we have this every week so I’ll take that as a thumbs up.
Thanks SOS Cuisine for the recipe – it was super simple. There are lots of other variations out there though so find one that suits your taste buds.

Put the ham in a large pot then cover with cold water. Bring to a boil then simmer 10 min. (This optional step reduces the saltiness of the ham). Drain well. |

Transfer the ham to the ceramic cooking pot, then add the remaining ingredients. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on 'high' for 7-8 h, or cook at 'low" for 10-12h, until the meat is so tender that falls apart when inserting a fork. |
