Everything I have ever cooked with my [[Home made sous-vide slow cooker conversion kit|(homemade)|(homemade) sous vide cooker]] has exceeded expectations and been far superior to the same dish cooked normally.  This time I tried a large [[Smoked|smoked]] [[Gammon joint|gammon joint]] (2.2kg [4 pounds 13.6 ounces]).  An elongated [[Sous vide cooking|sous vide cooking]] time definitely breaks all the collagens and other tissues down from gristle into meaty gorgeousness. For convenience of serving, I went for a 24 hour cook time (60° [140° F]) which meant I could pop it in the [[sous vide bath]] at 8pm one night and it would be ready to serve the same time the following day.

I'm just using [[Rhubarb and ginger preserve|rhubarb and ginger preserve]] as the finish for the glaze.  It goes really well with the salty [[Gammon|gammon]] and takes not preparation.
