Notes
- If you want to reduce the salt, it's a good idea to soak it in cold water for 2 hours, then drain before popping it in
- There's no need to stir while the stew cooks, although it certainly won't hurt
- The gammon in this delicious stew should easily break up in the crock pot, but I recommend being more thorough with two forks so it is a less soupy texture
- For a simple soup, you can beef stock to leftovers and simmer for 10-15 minutes over medium heat
