Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 (6 pound) bone-in country ham
  • 30 whole cloves
  • 3 cups apple cider, or as needed
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 2 tablespoons ground cloves
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (Optional)
  • 1 orange's peel
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: 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.

  • Step 2: Pour in the 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.

  • Step 3: Pour the maple syrup over the ham. To the apple cider that is already in the slow cooker, add the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, ground cloves, vanilla, and orange peel, distributing evenly. Cover and set to Low. Cook for 8 to 10 hours. Enjoy!
