gammon or bacon joint recipes (as a casserole)

[Kathb]

There are some good offers on gammon and bacon joints in the value/basic ranges in the supermarkets at the moment. I usually use them to make the Dublin Coddle recipe of Antony Worrall Thompson - which is a great one pot meal.
But you can have too much of a good thing.
Does anyone have any other recipes for a casserole/one pot with gammon or bacon?
Thanks

I will be interested to see what replies you get cos apart from using a bit to make soup that is as far as my culinary skills with a chunk of gammon or bacon go.......

Well I can certainly recommend the AWT Dublin Coddle but the family are ready for a change and the bacon and gammon joints are very reasonable at the moment.
I googled for recipes and it came up with hundreds of ways to bake a gammon or bacon joint, but nothing to stick in a casserole pot.
I am still hoping that fellow orgers will come up with a great change - if not - anyone who now goes out and buys these bargains and experiments and comes up with a recipe it will be greatfully received.

I use the bacon joint to make soup stock, save a little and add a tin of pineapple chunks or crushed pineapple to a casserole dish containing thick slices of the gammon and heat through in the oven. The rest is used up on sandwiches so no waste there. Gammon and apple sauce with clove is quite nice for an alternative warmer. Sorry it`s not traditional and a bit of a cheat, but gets soup and dinners out of one joint so most economical.

Thanks Poppet, I will try this one. If no one else comes in with a current recipe, maybe they to will try and experiment and we can all gain from the cheaper cuts of meat.

Take your gammon and put it in a big pan. half fill the pan with apple juice and add a chopped onion. bring to boil and simmer until gammon is cooked ( check times on packaging) thicken the apple juice and onion either with cornflour or butter and flour and serve with leeks or potatoes mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
