The first and only ham recipe I've ever made and even the couple that were self-professed ham-haters loved it! I couldn't get a fresh ham, so just cooked a small (3kg smoked picnic shoulder roast in 2 L ginger ale for about 2 hours before putting in the oven with the glaze. Even with 2 hours, it practiaclly fell apart when I lifted it out of the pot. But sooo good....

Made this ham for Easter sunday to rave reviews!! It was oh,sooo good! The only changes I made were: I simmered the ham in the gingerale for the 20 min per pound it recommends for precooked hams, I used spicey brown mustard because thats what I had, and I only used 1/4 tsp of the ground ginger in the orange marmalade because we are not big ginger lovers. WOW, talk about moist and tender, tart and sweet, delicious!! Thanks Nigella!

I have made this ham many times always to rave reviews. I do boil it in the ginger ale even though I use a boneless precooked tavern ham. The ginger ale makes it so moist and tender. Follow the recipe as written. You can't mess this one up!

If my understanding of this is correct, unless you live in the U.K. and have access to raw cured ham, you do NOT need to boil the ham for 4 1/2 hours. I would proceed with the recipe after that point on though. This then turns into a normal "baked ham" recipe. So your first step would be to pour on the glaze and cook the ham until heated through (it depends on the size of your ham, it should state the length of time necessary on the package since in the U.S. hams are always pre-cooked. I hope this helps everyone with questions about this!

Ummm.....Wooowww! This was yummy! I did double the glaze and just used directly over the ham. I also halved the mustard and cloves, used apricot/pineapple jam and added about 1 tbsp fresh ginger. Turned out wonderful. Everyone raved. I was worried cause I have never done a ham that wasn't spiral sliced with glaze included. I got a boned-in smoked ham shank and is was DELICIOUS.....You Must Try!!!

If you use a precooked spiral ham would you still cook in crockpot for a little less than 4 hours then in oven for 20 min? I thought that it may be too long as well, and get mushy?

The ham was very moist and delicious. I used the marmalade alternative so I did not find it tasted much of ginger, but it was wonderful and I will be doing it again.

This is a really good recipe! Today was the 2nd time I've made it, and once again it was a hit. I used a bone in smoked ham, 8lbs. I put in in the crock pot with the ginger ale for about 4 hours...which I may shorten next time by just a tad. I then finished it off in the oven with the glaze as directed. I did make double the glaze because it is so good and wanted to make sure the ham was thoroughly coated : And definitely make sure to line your roasting pan with foil, or use a disposable one. Cleaning cooked on sugary glaze is not fun. This is a really easy recipe that tastes delicious but isn't the normal ham everyone tends to make.
