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.

The ham was cooked perfectly, but the glaze was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try a different glaze next time.

The ham was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

The ham was a little dry, but the glaze was delicious. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The ham is always moist and flavorful, and the glaze is to die for. I highly recommend this recipe.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I'm always short on time, so it's great to be able to just throw the ham in the slow cooker and have it ready when I get home from work.

I was skeptical about cooking a ham in the slow cooker, but I'm so glad I tried it. The ham was cooked to perfection and the glaze was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.
