Mustard glazed ham

I make this ham every Christmas and its always a hit, I had the original recipe from Nigella but I know cooking ham in coke has been popular in the USA for many years. I used to use ordinary coke but found it still works well with diet coke.
The only syns are for the mustard glaze and if you want to be really good you can leave it but it is very tasty and only works out a syn or two per portion.
I made this one for my friend (Hi Joy!) and so used unsmoked gammon which she prefers but I usually make it with a smoked gammon joint. It keeps well in the fridge for about seven days.

Ingredients:

Gammon joint, smoked or unsmoked (all fat removed) approx 1.5kg
2 litre bottle diet coke
2 onions (skin on cut in half)
2 tsp grain mustard
1 tbsp brown sugar

Method:

Place the gammon in a large saucepan and add the onions and pour over the diet coke. Bring to a boil and simmer for about three hours.

Take out of the coke and place on a foil covered dish (the glaze can smoke a bit and this makes it easier to clean up)
Mix the mustard and the sugar together and spread over the top of the ham and place in the oven at the hottest setting for 10 minutes until the glaze bubbles.
4 syns for the whole ham or syn free if you don’t use the glaze.

Tasty sausage casserole (slimming world friendly)

I have a bit of a problem with the casserole packet mixes you can buy in supermarkets they are often full of weird E numbers and ingredients you cant pronounce and you can make tasty sauces without the syns and without spending ££ on packets . This recipe makes another family friendly dinner which is both economical and filling too.

Sausages are usually really high in syns but there are some low syn options out there. I’m a big fan of Joes sausages (bought online) which are syn free but for this recipe I used some low syn sausages from a local butchers but there are some good lower syn supermarket ones as well.

Little bit of peeling and chopping to do and then it really looks after itself. I make my sausage casseroles a little differently as I don’t brown the sausages first I think they sort of ‘poach’ in the stock and tomatoes and I think this helps to keep the sausages succulent but if you want to brown yours first please do. I love adding a can of baked beans to this too sometimes and it makes the sauce richer if you want to do this just add near the end of cooking so they don’t go too mushy.

Ingredients:

8 low syn sausages
1/2 pint beef stock (from a cube is fine)
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 tsp dried sage
2 large carrots (peeled and chopped)
1 large onion (peeled and chopped)
4oz mushrooms (sliced)
salt and pepper
spray oil

Method:

Spray a large saucepan with the spray oil and place over a low heat and add the carrots and onion, Sprinkle with salt and cook for about 5 minutes until onion is soft. (The salt helps to soften the vegetables without browning them). Add the sage, sausages, stock, mushrooms and tomatoes.

Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes until sauce is reduced and thickened might take a little longer you just want the sauce to be reduced, Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Syns according to the sausages used the rest of the ingredients are syn free,
