Has anyone here maybe have a nice gammon recipe he can personally recommend?
 
Not that I can help, but I assume you want to prepare a dish with gammon, as opposed to making it?
 
Simplest recipe:

If smoked.. just take it out of its packaging, put it into slow cooker on auto, close lid, go sleep & wake up to a delicious perfectly cooked cooked gammon 8 hours later..

For non-smoked I prefer adding some spices & maybe a bit of fluid - juice, apple cider or even Pepsi works.

Sometimes if I want to impress I concoct an elaborate orange/pineapple glaze, or score & scorch the skin under the grill for a bit of a crunch.

Only thing better than a good gammon is a good gammon with lots of crackling.. :)

Personally, being lazy, I mostly just cook out a bit of the fat under the skin leaving it almost natural.

Either way, gammon doesn't mind, gammon has few rules, gammon just wants to make us happy.

That's why gammon loves being thinly sliced & slathered with English mustard sauce on homemade bread..

Don't have a slow cooker, but might go take one from the in laws. Heard about a beer recipe also, will try to get all together by the end of next week, want to make it next weekend. Thanks.
 
I normally just put it in the oven at 150° for 3 hours, together with some potatoes that are cut in half. After the first hour I add whole peeled onions.

I normally cut the Garmmon into paper-thin slices on the electric food-cutter once it is cooked.

Do you add spices?
 
No spices, but I always use a smoked gammon, that is already salted.
 
Boil in Ginger beer and chinese 5-spice, with extra ginger (and the usual carrots / onions etc)

brown sugar / ginger / marmalade / 5-spice glaze
