Smoked Ham With Oranges Crock Pot Food

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 HAM

Steps:

• Spread about 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar on the bottom of the slow cooker crock. Place the ham flat side down into the slow cooker - you might have to trim it a little to make it fit. Use your hands to rub the remaining brown sugar onto the ham. Cover, and cook on Low for 8 hours.
