Steps:
- Whisk together the jam, mustard, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small pot. Bring the mixture to a boil to melt the sugar, whisking occasionally. Reduce the heat to a simmer until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and reserve.
- Add 3/4 cup water to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the ham in the insert on its side, and brush lightly with the glaze. Cover, and cook on low until the ham is hot throughout, 6 to 7 hours. Refrigerate the remaining glaze.
- When the ham has about 10 minutes left to cook, reheat the glaze in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
- Transfer the ham to a carving platter or serving dish, and brush with enough glaze to make a glossy, sticky coating. Slice, and serve with the remaining glaze on the side.
- Cook's Note: Depending on the size of the ham, you may have to trim some from the underside. Toss the trimmed pieces into the slow cooker alongside the ham so it can all cook together.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Place the ham cut side down onto a sheet of aluminum foil. I like to put the shiny side up. Mix together the brown sugar, apricot jam and mustard powder in a small bowl. Brush onto the ham using a pastry or barbeque brush. Reserve any leftover glaze. Enclose the foil around the ham and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast for 2 hours in the preheated oven, or if your ham is a different size, figure 14 minutes per pound. Apply the remaining glaze 20 minutes before the ham is done.

Nutrition Facts :
Tips:
- Choose a fresh ham with a good meat-to-fat ratio. A ham that is too fatty will not cook evenly and will end up dry.
- Soak the ham in cold water for at least 12 hours before cooking. This will help to remove the excess salt and make the ham more tender.
- Use a slow cooker with a capacity of at least 6 quarts. A smaller slow cooker will not be able to accommodate the ham properly.
- Make sure the ham is completely submerged in the liquid. If it is not, add more water or broth.
- Cook the ham on low for 8-10 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Baste the ham with the glaze every hour or so. This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Let the ham rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker ham with apricot Dijon glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ham is tender and flavorful, and the glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are serving it for a special occasion or a casual weeknight dinner, this dish is sure to be a hit.
