On Boxing day every year my dear old Dad would always make a roast gammon. In the past I have made his version and it has always been so tasty. This year I fancied a break from the normal or the traditions and I thought I would make this version instead. Of course I had to practise the recipe in advance. Don’t worry you won’t have to as this recipe is so easy but packed with flavour too. We loved it and we will be eating this one on Boxing day. As always, we hope you will too. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Orange and Honey Slow Cooker Gammon with Gravy was a delicious meal. It was very easy to prepare and cook. There were plenty of leftovers that could frozen or eaten in sandwiches the next day. As I mentioned earlier we really enjoy this dish and we hope you will too. However you decide to eat this roast, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
