  1. Unless I have this very wrong, the gammon joint I bought is called ham in
    the US. And I have some recipes for crockpot ham, but they call for a
    cooked ham. Surely I don't have to cook it twice? Just longer in the
    crockpot?

    Thanks

    Ham is usually already cooked; it's cured with a brine for a week or more
    (depending on what style ham) and then smoked. If you buy a ham here in the
    US you just have to get it up to temperature to make it hot enough for
    serving. Are there any directions on the label?

    I don't know what the original poster had in mind but you can cook
    gammon/ham in your crockpot. Then.... score the fat and rub in brown
    sugar and put it into a very hot oven until the outside is browned

    delicious🙂

    Thanks. The gammon joint isn't cooked, so I'll use the crockpot to cook
    it completely.

    I was under the impression that Gammon isn't smoked. In Canada and the US
    most ham is smoked either uncooked or fully cooked.

    When I buy a ham I usually get a fully cooked bone in ham. More flavour.
    But to serve it we usually roast it for long enough to heat it through.

    From Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook: Feasting with your Slow Cooker
    by Dawn J. Ranck and Phyllis Pellman Good
    (New York Times Bestseller)

    ++++++++++

    Ham in Cider
    Dorothy M. Van Deest

    3 lb ham or larger (whatever fits in crockpot)
    4 cups sweet cider or apple juice
    1 cup brown sugar
    2 tsp dry mustard
    1 tsp ground cloves
    2 cups white seedless raisins

    Cook ham and cider in crockpot on low 8-10 hours.
    Remove ham and place in baking pan
    Make paste of sugar, mustard, cloves, and a little cider. Brush over ham.
    Pour 1 cup juice from crockpot into baking pan and stir in raisins.
    Bake at 375 degrees for 30 until paste has turned into a glaze.

    ++++++++++

    The next one is for boneless ham. Cooking times are similar to one above so
    there shouldn't be much difference:

    Ham and Potatoes
    Ruth Shank

    6-8 medium red or russet potatoes; cut into chunks
    2-3 lb boneless ham
    1/2 cup brown sugar
    1 tsp dry mustard

    [censored] potoato pieces with fork and place in crockpot.
    Place ham on top of potatoes.
    Crumble sugar over ham and sprinkle with dry mustard.
    Cook on low 10 or more hours until potatoes are tender.
    Pour juices over ham and potatoes to serve.

    ++++++++++

    I'm not sure I'd ruin a perfectly good ham with barbecue sauce but here's
    another:

    Pork Barbecue
    Mary Sommerfeld

    2 onions; sliced
    4-5 lb pork roast or fresh picnic ham
    5-6 whole cloves
    2 cups water
    ----- Sauce -----
    1 large onion; chopped
    16 oz bottle barbecue sauce

    Put half of sliced onions in bottom of crockpot.
    Add meat, cloves, and water.
    Cover with remaining onions.
    Cook on low 8-12 hours.
    Remove bone from meat. Cut up meat and drain liquid.
    Return meat to crockpot.
    Add chopped onion and barbecue sauce.
    Cook on high 1-3 hours or low 4-8 hours, stirring 2 or 3 times.
    Serve on buns.

    This freezes well.

    Yes, I really like the book. It was an impulse buy on the way to cash

    I noticed you're using NYC 5.69. I'm only on 5.66 and just noticed on the

    into problems with your version? I'm usually an early adopter but in this

    NYC 5.67 had a dictionary bug (minor bug only allowed standard US spell

    NYC 5.68 had a fix for that.
    I'm testing 5.69 for bugs...seems ok

    I couldn't find any. The ones I see all use something sweet -- brown sugar,
    honey, jelly, fruit juice or juice. You can probably improvise by using some
    of the pork roasts recipes for inspiration. Or maybe someone here will come
    up with something.

    I just remembered a savory-type ham I've had -- Maryland Stuffed Ham,
    unglazed. Without the kale and cabbage, the filling is a pretty basic blend
    of onion, celery, crushed red pepper, ground red pepper, salt, black pepper,
    and celery seed. Why not put seasoning that's usually on the inside on the
    outside? I'd suggest using vegetable broth instead of water or juice and
    using the cooking times from the other crockpot ham recipes as a guide.
    Sorry, you'd have to wing it on the amounts. If you do try something like,
    do post your recipe. Your Savory Crockpot Un-stuffed Ham recipe would be a
    first for many of us.

    That's sorta what I was thinkin. I could wing it no problem, I make up
    recipes on the fly all the time. 🙂 Just wondered if anyone had a tried and
    true to leap from. 🙂 Thanks for the suggestion and I'll give it a go,
    maybe this weekend. 🙂
