Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 carrot peeled
- 1 onion peeled and cut into wedges
- 1.3 kg gammon joint unsmoked
- 1.5 l cola enough to cover the roast by at least ¾
For The Glaze
- 70 g maple syrup or honey
- 1 heaped tablespoon wholegrain mustard
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice
Instructions
- Place the carrot chunks and onion wedges in the bowl of the slow cooker.
- Place the gammon joint on top. Pour the cola over to submerge it by at least ¾. Cover with the lid and cook on high for 4-5 hours, or on low for 7-8 hours.
- When the gammon is finished cooking, preheat the oven to 220° C. Line a baking tray with foil.
- In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, mustard and Chinese five spice.
- Take the cooked gammon out of the slow cooker and remove any string or netting. Cut the rind (if your joint has it) leaving a layer of fat on top. Score the fat in a criss-cross pattern using a sharp knife.
- Smear the glaze all over the gammon and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until dark and sticky. Brush some more glaze that gathered at the botom of the tray on top of the gammon just before serving.
