For the Ham

For the Mustard Sauce
  • 1 cup Apple juice Adds a fruity base that balances the sharpness of mustard and ensures moisture.
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard Contributes smooth, sophisticated tang, serving as the backbone of the sauce.
  • 1/4 cup Whole grain mustard Provides texture and bursts of rustic flavor with poppable mustard seeds.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Introduces natural sweetness that softens the mustard's edge and creates a glossy coating.
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar Deepens sweetness with molasses undertones, enhancing the dish's rich, golden hue.
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar Adds bright acidity, cutting through the richness of the sauce.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Infuses warmth without the hassle of fresh cloves.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder Delivers mellow, oniony sweetness for a more complex flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Adds subtle heat and aroma that lifts the entire dish.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Ham: Begin by placing the boneless ham into the slow cooker. Make sure it fits snugly to capture all the flavors as it cooks.

  3. Coat the Ham: Pour the mustard sauce over the ham in the slow cooker, ensuring that it is evenly coated.
  4. Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover the slow cooker and let it cook on low for 6 to 7 hours until fork-tender.
  5. Shred the Ham: Remove the ham from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Prepare the Creamy Sauce: Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer.
  7. Add the Cream: Stir in heavy cream and allow it to simmer until slightly thickened.
  8. Combine & Serve: Return the shredded ham to the slow cooker, pour the creamy mustard sauce over it, and stir to combine.
