About the Recipe

I have made this recipe for Slow-Cooker Gammon with Ginger Beer three times now, as we all love it, especially my husband.

It is a fabulous recipe when time is short, as it cooks in the slow cooker, whilst you get on with other things.

I have several recipes for ham and gammon on Lavender & Lovage, as I love to experiment with new seasonings, herbs, spices and the cooking method too.

This latest recipe for Slow-Cooker Gammon with Ginger Beer is delicious, with a wonderfully aromatic flavour of ginger and warm spices.

The last time I cooked it, I used two smaller joints, and you can do that too, as I've given cooking instructions for up to 1.8 kilos of gammon in weight.

Cooking Method

Cook the gammon in a slow cooker with ginger beer and warm spices for a deliciously aromatic flavour.

Serving Suggestions

Once cooked, serve this spiced gammon joint hot, with pease pudding, boiled potatoes and parsley sauce, as well as spiced red cabbage and seasonal veggies.

And of course, once cooked, it can be served in salads, soups, sandwiches, as part of a Ploughman's Lunch, or as a hot meal again.

Storage

It also freezes well, just slice it and pop a sheet of greaseproof paper in between each slice before putting in a ziplock bag, so you can take individual slices out as you need them.

Store covered for up to 5 days in the fridge after cooking.

Cooking Notes

• Increase the cooking time if using a larger joint of ham or gammon.
• Store covered for up to 5 days in the fridge after cooking.
• It also freezes well, just slice it and pop a sheet of greaseproof paper in between each slice before putting in a ziplock bag, so you can take individual slices out as you need them.
• If you are on a diet, you can use low-calorie or sugar-free ginger beer, as I did last time I made this, as I have lost 3 stone over the last 18 months with Slimming World.

I hope you enjoy this as much as we all do. It's such an easy recipe but the results are really delectable. Plus, it's the joint of meat that just keeps on giving!
