Ham In Cider
Ingredients
1 ready to serve ham about 5 pounds
small enough to fit into your crock pot
4 C. apple juice or sweet cider to cover
Glaze:
2 tsp. dry mustard
1 C. brown sugar firmly packed
1 tsp. ground cloves
2 C. golden seedless raisins
Cooking Instructions
Place the ham with enough cider or apple juice to cover in a crock pot and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours. Before serving, remove ham and set aside. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Make a paste of the mustard, cloves and a scant Tbls. of the hot cider. If there is one, remove the outer skin from the ham and smear the ham with the paste. Place in a baking pan. Pour in 1 C. of hot cider and the raisins. Bake in the preheated oven 1/2 hour or just until the paste has turned to a glaze. The cider will have reduced enough to make a flavorful raisin sauce for the ham.
