Crock Pot Ham And Apples Food

SLOW COOKER HAM WITH APPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl combine ¼ cup brown sugar and ½ tsp ground cinnamon. Mix well and set to the side.
• Peel and dice 3 of the Granny Smith apples. Place the diced apples in the slow cooker, add 1-1/2 tablespoons raisins, and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar/ cinnamon mixture. Mix well then pour the apple juice over the apples.
• Peel the remaining Granny Smith apple, using a hand-held mandolin slicer cut 10 slices on the thickest setting (about ¼ inch thick). Put the thinly sliced apples to the side. With the remaining apple, dice it and place it in the slow cooker with the other diced apples.
• Place the ham flat side down in the slow cooker (making sure to remove the plastic insert usually found on the flat part of the ham). If your ham is too tall and sticks out of the height of the slow cooker, carefully trim off that piece until the lid can shut close.
• Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon and sugar mixture on top of the ham. Rub the mixture all over.
• Carefully add thinly sliced apples (evenly spaced) to the top and sides of the ham. Secure each apple slice with 1 whole clove each.
• Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 5 hours on low.
• Once warm and internal temperatures reaches at least 140 degrees Fahreheit, remove ham from slow cooker and slice. Mix apples together, (strain juice if desired) and place in a bowl. Serve together immediately.

SLOW-COOKER HAM WITH APRICOT-DIJON GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk together the jam, mustard, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a small pot. Bring the mixture to a boil to melt the sugar, whisking occasionally. Reduce the heat to a simmer until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and reserve.
• Add 3/4 cup water to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. Place the ham in the insert on its side, and brush lightly with the glaze. Cover, and cook on low until the ham is hot throughout, 6 to 7 hours. Refrigerate the remaining glaze.
• When the ham has about 10 minutes left to cook, reheat the glaze in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
• Transfer the ham to a carving platter or serving dish, and brush with enough glaze to make a glossy, sticky coating. Slice, and serve with the remaining glaze on the side.

SLOW COOKER APPLE AND CLOVE HAM

Steps:

• Add the ham to the slow cooker. Pour over the apple juice. Sprinkle over the brown sugar
• Spread over the apples, and sprinkle over the cloves.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
• Serve the ham slices topped with the apples and sauce.
• Enjoy!

EASY SLOW COOKER HAM

Steps:

• Press whole cloves into the ham so they are evenly distributed. You may score the ham for easier insertion if you wish. Place the ham in a slow cooker. Pour in apple cider until only about 2 inches of ham is above the surface. Pack the brown sugar on top of the ham, pressing into the cloves. This will get washed away in the next step but any that stays on is a bonus.
• Pour the maple syrup over the ham. Season the apple cider with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, ground cloves and vanilla. Add the orange peel to the pot. Fill the slow cooker as full as you can with apple cider without going over the fill line. Cover and set to Low. Cook for 8 to 10 hours.
