Today's recipe is for Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Gammon. Gammon reminds me a lot of my childhood. Gammon steaks with pineapple and eggs! It's a bit of a weird British thing. I didn't eat gammon for quite a long time as an adult, but in my search for different meals to cook for dinner, it came back on my radar. It's often included in supermarket meat deals, making it very affordable too. 

I have cooked gammon steaks on the grill in old-school style, but they can be quite rubbery if you're not careful. By far the best results I have had with gammon, is by slow cooking it. For slow cooking, I buy the gammon joints which are around £3 for 750g usually. Slow cooking them makes them fall apart beautifully so they can be shredded and shredded gammon makes amazing sandwiches! This Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Gammon recipe has a sweet, garlicky flavour to offset the saltiness of the meat. It's amazing hot with roast potatoes or cold in sandwiches or with salad.


Brown Sugar Gammon is also the one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd over Christmas. Buy a bigger joint and use it for Christmas eve dinner, or just shred it all up to keep everyone fed with sandwiches. It has the bonus of being completely stress-free; You can just forget about it.

Give it a try- it's a cheap and easy meal.
