Well, I didn't make it for me. I don't like smoked gammon) I can see me
making it with something different though and I believe I WILL like that))

Any good not-smoked ham should do nicely with whatever bean soups you
make in the future. Even though you didn't care for it, at least you
now know the method.

I do indeed You saw the pic, yes. Well there is a huge chunk of meat in
there ... Next time I will follow advice and use a smaller piece ... <g>
That was a 2lb+ lump ... but at least it's all tender)

I am looking at other recipes now in the site sf shared. This the one I am
hoping to do next ...

LOL it's his pronunciation. He says it very quickly. The written text
does say "sauté shallots or onions".

I think you might have liked it better had you not used so much meat.

As indeed you advised!!! By the time I had your post it had already been in
the pot for some time <g> Oh well, he has a big lump of meat in the fridge
as well as his soup) Next time ... ) It has been a good learning
experience)

Nothing wrong with some good tender gammon in the fridge for sandwiches,
right? On your home-baked bread.

Let's be honest: HE liked it and that's what counts in this scenario.
You're willing to play with ingredients, but if he had hated it - that
would have been the end of your experimenting with beans in the slow
cooker. So glad to hear he's willing to experiment along with you
(within boundaries, of course).

The dish was beans with some ham for flavoring, not ham with beans.
Less would have made a big difference.... she just plain used too much
meat. A quarter of the volume would have been more appropriate...
still too much for my taste, but it would have been better over all.

) The beans are cooked, the gammon is cooked through and falling to
pieces and he tells me the the broth is delicious) Too smokey for me, but
I wasn't making it for me but it has given me the knowledge and experience
to do it again with different meats, beans and soups! I haven't used my
crock pot for a long time because after previous attempts with this pot I
wasn't happy with the results. This has made a big difference)))) I
always felt it ran hot compared to my previous pot, but it sure worked well
this time) I couldn't possibly gauge how long it took because as I said,
I kept taking off the lid for various checks and changes, but it doesn't
matter. I would never cook this the same day I wanted to eat it.

I am a very happy bunny this evening))
