Method
step 1
Put the gammon in your slow cooker, then pour over the ginger beer and enough apple juice to cover. Add the veg, spices and bay, then cook on low for 6 hrs.
step 2
Remove the gammon, discarding the liquid, and put in a roasting tin. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Remove any skin but leave behind an even layer of fat, and score it all over in a criss-cross pattern.
step 3
Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl or jug, then brush it all over the gammon. Roast for 10 mins, then pour over any remaining glaze and roast for a further 20 mins. Serve with roast potatoes and wilted greens, if you like.
