You need a ham, we go with an unsmoked gammon joint. The ham is cooked in the slowcooker so there is almost no work for you to do, switch it on, make some coffee and go watch that box set of “The West Wing” for six hours
now i'm not an expert on cuts of pork - my rabbi would be turning in his grave - so I went in with a gammon on my mind as I wanted to produce a Christmas ham but the butcher was so charming he convinced me to purchase this collar bacon and i'm utterly thrilled with it
Back in January when I cooked up a Ham in Irn Bru for Burns Night it almost broke the Internet. Cut off the fat and pat the joint dry with kitchen roll
I used it as if it was a cider in my slowcooker and it left the meat moist and falling apart. Newton’s Appl Fizzics – Well I used this to slow cook a ham this week

A slowcooker is a magical wee creature. Great for batch cooking and large items like a joint of ham or a whole chicken but not so good on a day to day basis
noneIngredients2 onions, finely chopped2 large carrots, finely diced750g (approx) unsmoked gammon joint, cut into chunks500g yellow split peas (These need to be soaked overnight in preparation)1 litre vegetable stocksalt and pepperMethodPlace the chopped onion, carrot, ham, split peas and stock into the slowcooker bowl. 750g (approx) unsmoked gammon joint, cut into chunks
I usually add enough water to cover the base of the slowcooker but because I was planning to make soup with the stock, I added more than I usually would – probably about an inch and a half high
