FAQs:

What’s the difference between gammon and ham?

  • Gammon is the hind leg of a pig that has been cured but not smoked, while ham is often cured or smoked and sold pre-cooked.

Do I need to add liquid to the slow cooker?

  • No, the sugar draws out the salt from the meat naturally, creating juice as it slow cooks.

This slow cooker recipe truly takes the stress out of cooking and rewards you with a delicious and impressive dish. The long, slow cooking process ensures that the gammon becomes incredibly tender and packed with flavor. So, don’t hesitate to save this recipe and give it a try – your taste buds and your loved ones will thank you for it! 😊

Happy cooking! 🍽️
