BAKED HAM IN APPLE JUICE
Method
- You can do this recipe in a slow cooker or in an oven dish with a lid (150C) Place the apple juice, mustard, honey, ground cloves, pepper and bay leaf into the slow cooker or oven dish
- Place the ham into the liquor and cover with a lid
- Cook very gently until the ham has absorbed some of this delightful liquor and the meat has become even more tender and juicy (1-1 ½ hours)
- Remove the ham carefully from the liquid and set aside on a warm platter
- Place the oven dish on a high stove top heat and reduce the liquid until it becomes thicker and more like a glossy sauce
- Serve with the ham
Comments
When the hams are this good they don’t need much done to them, however today I thought you may like this German inspired recipe. Great one to use for Christmas.
