How to Make Apple Orange Ham

  1. Preheat your slow cooker.
  2. Cut the leftover ham into 6 equal slices (approximately 1/2 inch thick).
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the orange juice (1 cup), apple cider (1/2 cup), brown sugar (1/4 cup), Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon), ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon), and ground cloves (1/4 teaspoon).
  4. Place 1 slice of ham in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  5. Pour 1/6 of the apple orange mixture over the ham slice.
  6. Repeat layers until all ham and glaze are used, ending with a layer of glaze.
  7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours, or until the ham is heated through and the glaze is bubbly and slightly thickened.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy! Garnish with fresh orange zest and chopped pecans (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
