CrockPot Apple Cider Ham

Ingredients

8 Pounds Bone-In Ham
½ Gallon Apple Cider, Divided (Or Apple Juice)
1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Ground Nutmeg
2 Teaspoons Ground Ginger
1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
¾ Cup Brown Sugar
1 Cup Real Maple Syrup
1 Medium Orange (Quartered)

Place ham into a 6 quart or larger oval slow cooker.

In liquid measuring cup mix together 2 cups of apple cider and ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and vanilla and mix well.

Pour over ham, saving measuring cup for more apple cider to come.

Place cut up orange quarters in slow cooker on sides of ham.

Press the brown sugar with your hands onto the top of the ham. If the ham is pre-sliced you can pack some of it into the slices as well.

Carefully pour approximately 1 cup of maple syrup over the brown sugar, trying carefully to not lose the brown sugar into the apple cider.

You will then use your liquid measuring cup and refill with apple cider in till just the top of the ham is uncovered.

Cover and cook on LOW for 5 – 6 hours or on HIGH for about 3 hours or until the ham is heated throughout.

Use tongs to carefully remove the ham from the slow cooker and place on a a serving platter.

Baste the ham with the juices from the slow cooker once removed to keep the ham nice and moist.
