Gammon Joint in Slow Cooker

[collywobbles69]

Sorry, I know this has been covered several times before but I've done a quick search of the topic and I'm still a bit unconfident! I have the whole family coming tomorrow so am anxious nothing goes wrong.

I have a 2.2kg gammon joint that I want to cook in the slow cooker to have in addition to turkey on Christmas Day.

It is an unsmoked joint so I don't think you have to soak it first anymore. Can you let me know:

how long you would cook for on low
How long you would cook for on high
Do I have to put any liquid in or can I just put the joint in on its own
Is it better to cook on high or low
If I cook it today can I leave it to cool, put in fridge and then reheat tomorrow in the oven

I just want to cook the joint plain as we have children who won't eat anything 'fancy'

Many thanks

Just stick it in there with either a bottle of cola or a litre of apple juice, and put it on high. After about 5 hours, slice a little bit off the end every 15 minutes or so and taste it for juiciness. When you think it's nice, take it out. If you leave it too long it can go a bit rubbery, hence the sampling at the end. Oh and after about 2-3 hours, turn it over so the sticky out bit is in the liquid. It won't really taste of cola or apple btw. If you reheat it in the oven, you need it to be piping hot right through, and only do it once. Don't reheat it again after it's cooled the second time.
