First, gather an ensemble of ingredients that will transform an ordinary ham into a sublime delicacy. To make this savory delight, you’ll need:

- 3/4 cup of honey
- 1/2 cup of Dijon mustard

Cooking in harmony: The Method Behind the Magic
Step-by-Step Perfection
- Start early because this culinary adventure is an 8-hour affair. But the 8 hours after the initial prep requires no effort on your part so sit back and relax.
- Begin by preparing the ham. Trim any excess fat to ensure a perfect balance of flavors and a succulent texture.
- With a sharp knife, make a series of cuts in the ham, forming a beautiful diamond pattern. Each cut should be about 1/2 inch apart and penetrate about 1/4 inch deep.
- Carefully place your meticulously prepared ham into the welcoming embrace of your slow cooker.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the light brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple juice to create a tantalizing glaze that will infuse your ham with flavor.
- Pour the delectable glaze over the ham in your slow cooker, ensuring that the ham is evenly coated with this elixir of deliciousness.
- Set your slow cooker to “low” and let the ham cook for 8 hours. During this time, the flavors will meld, and the meat will become incredibly tender, making each bite a delightful experience.
- Once your slow cooker has worked its magic, you’ll be rewarded with ham that is so succulent and tender that it practically falls off the bone. At this stage, you can choose to carve it into slices or shred it for an alternative presentation.
