Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 lb ham gammon joint
  • 1 cup vegetable broth (vegetable stock)

Instructions
 

  • Remove all packaging from the ham (gammon joint), including any plastic or paper casing.
    3 lb ham
  • Place a slow cooker trivet in the bottom of the slow cooker. Set the ham on top so it does not touch the base of the pot.
  • Pour the vegetable broth (stock) into the slow cooker around the ham. Avoid pouring the broth directly over the meat.
    1 cup vegetable broth
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours.
  • Carefully remove the ham from the slow cooker. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  • Transfer the ham to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to remove any excess fat.

Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • Remove every layer of packaging before placing the ham in the slow cooker. Some joints may have an additional plastic or paper casing.
  • The trivet keeps the ham raised above the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Pour the stock around the meat rather than directly over it.
  • Cook the ham on the low setting for the full 5 hours.
  • Resting the ham for 20 minutes makes it easier to slice.
  • Remove only the excess fat after resting, then cut the ham into thick or thin slices as preferred.
  • The cooked ham can be served warm or cold.
