Directions
1Place ham in slow cooker bowl
2If using a leg ham prepare it by removing the skin, leaving minimal fat layer on. Lightly score the top of the ham to form a cross hatch pattern.
3*note* You can use other cuts of ham that don’t have the fat layer, if so just score the surface of it still to allow the baste flavours to seep in during cooking

5In a saucepan combine syrup, sugar, juice and mustard's (whisk to combine). Stir constantly over heat until sugar dissolves then set aside.
6
7Stud the ham with cloves, one in each diamond if you like for presentation purposes.
8
9Liberally brush ham with glaze and cook on low for 5hrs (it's really only heating the ham and infusing the flavours to this time can be adjusted if need be)
10Continue to brush with further glaze throughout the cooking process - every half hour if possible - for maximum flavour
11
12(I personally remove the cloves before carving)

14Serve with additional creamy mustard if desired :)

This is my Christmas go to ham recipe now! So delicious. I added some of the glaze to a white sauce to serve with it and roasted vegetables

I don’t have dijon mustard! Could I just use 3 tbsp of wholegrain mustard instead?

Any cooked christmas ham would be lovely Lisa 🙂 I would just remove the rind from any that have the thick rind/fat layer over the top

Hi – I don’t know much about ham (I’d be cooking this just for 1 son). When you say other cuts could be used, what would they be? Thanks

Hi Tracey
I would cook as per the packet to make sure it’s cooked I think?
You could always then glaze 🙂

Hi, would you use this recipe with a deboned gammon? The packaging calls for cooking by boiling for 2 hours in stock…. I want to try slow cooking it but not sure if this recipe will cook it properly?
