Yield 8-10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (6- to 7-pound) bone-in, hickory-smoked, uncured fully cooked ham
5 medium parsnips, peeled and halved lengthwise
5 medium carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 cup maple syrup
2 cups unsweetened apple juice
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
½ cup smooth Dijon mustard
½ cup grainy Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt (if needed)

Steps:

  • Cook the ham:
  • Pour 3 cups of water into a 7-quart slow cooker. Add the ham, cut-side up, as well as the parsnips and carrots. Pour the maple syrup and apple juice over the ham, and sprinkle the brown sugar over the top. Cook on high, uncovered, for 30 to 45 minutes, then cover the slow cooker and cook on low until the ham is tender, 3 to 4 hours. Hams vary in size and tenderness, so be patient. When it's tender, the meat should come off the bone with very little resistance. Taste a small piece for tenderness.
  • Finish and serve:
  • Transfer the ham and vegetables to a deep serving platter (reserve the liquid in the pot). Use a pair of kitchen shears or scissors to cut the slices of ham off the bone and let them fall onto the platter. Stir both kinds of mustard and the vinegar into the cooking liquid left in the slow cooker and taste for seasoning-the sauce may or may not need salt. Pour the liquid over the ham and vegetables, and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (up to 10-pounds) ham, pre-cooked, bone-in, spiral cut
3 cups brown sugar
1 can pineapple tidbits, undrained

Steps:

  • Cover the bottom of the crock with brown sugar. Place ham on top of the brown sugar and add the pineapple tidbits with the juice. Sprinkle ham with more brown sugar. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: Select a ham that is fully cooked and bone-in for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a slow cooker liner: This will make cleanup a breeze. Simply lift the liner out of the slow cooker when you're finished cooking.
  • Add moisture: If the ham is dry, add a cup of water or chicken broth to the slow cooker.
  • Don't overcrowd the slow cooker: Make sure there is enough space for the ham to cook evenly.
  • Cook on low: This will help to prevent the ham from drying out.
  • Check the ham regularly: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the ham has reached an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the ham rest: Once the ham is cooked, let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
