Description
A festive slow-cooked gammon, glazed with brown sugar and spices, creating a tender and flavorful centerpiece for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 gammon joint (bone-in or boneless)
- 1 cup brown sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- Herbs (thyme, rosemary, or sage)
- Vegetables (carrots, onions, and celery)
Instructions
- Rinse the gammon joint under cold water and pat dry. Score the surface in a crisscross pattern.
- In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to create the glaze.
- Layer carrots, onions, and celery at the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Place the gammon on top of the vegetables and pour the glaze over it.
- Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the gammon overnight. If desired, glaze and roast in the oven for a few minutes for a crispy finish.
