For the glaze

Method

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.

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.
