Ingredients




1 ready to serve ham - (abt 5 lbs)
(small enough to fit into your crockpot)
4 cups apple juice or sweet cider to cover
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 cup brown sugar - (firmly packed)
1 teaspoon ground cloves
2 cups golden seedless raisins

Preparation

1 Place the ham with enough cider or apple juice to cover in a crockpot and cook on LOW for 10 to 12 hours. Before serving, remove ham and set aside. 2 Heat oven to 375 degrees. Make a paste of the mustard, cloves and a scant tablespoon 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 cup 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 flavourful raisin sauce for the ham. 3 Comments: You may wish to add up to 10 whole cloves to the apple juice in the crockpot.
