2 Ingredient Slow Cooker Ham Fillet

2 Ingredient Slow Cooker Ham Fillet

Against my better judgement I decided to try this 'recipe' out in the Slow Cooker despite there being no sign of any liquid. To my surprise and delight, it turned out to be the most delicious melt-in-the-mouth ham fillet I have ever cooked (and I've cooked loads!!) So, the HUGE list of ingredients is as follows: Ham Fillet Brown Sugar Yep, that's it. In my case, the Ham Fillet was approximately 1.7kg (1700 grams) and for that I used about 200 grams of brown sugar. I simply placed about 150 grams of brown sugar in the bottom of my slow cooker, rubbed the rest of the sugar over the ham fillet and placed it in the slow cooker. 7 to 7 and a half hours later on low, and the yummyness began. So much so that I hacked away at it before I lifted it out of the cooker. During cooking, the sugar dissolved to liquid form and mixed with the melting fat from the ham, produced enough liquid for the ham to cook. I highly recommend trying this!

Recipe Notes

Watch this 7 week old baby’s brilliant reaction to hearing for the first time

This is the moment when parents Michelle and Toby Lever had been waiting for. Their 7 week-old baby boy Lachlan heard their voices for the first time thanks to a newly fitted hearing aid.

Lachlan was diagnosed with moderate hearing loss at birth and initially wasn’t happy when the doctor was inserting the hearing aid. But that quickly changed when, hearing his mothers voice for the first time he immediately smiles and appears to be happy with his new found hearing.

A tear or two may be shed during the watching of this clip…..

Watch as Rory McIlroy makes this young fan’s day

This young golf fan was probably the happiest person at the BMW Championship in Colorado yesterday.

As Rory McIlroy walked past him at the 7th hole, he handed his gold ball to the young boy. That simple gesture produced a great reaction from the boy, who no doubt will become one of Rory’s biggest fans!

Many of us will remember looking up to a sports star or musician in our youth in the hope of someday meeting them for real.

Shortly afterwards, Paudie sprung into action and changed Conan into an outfit that read ‘Will you marry my daddy?’.
