Tender and Flavorful Delight: Slow Cooker Cherry Cola Ham Recipe (Page 2 ) | April 7, 2024

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare the Ham:

• Remove the ham from its packaging and place it in the slow cooker. If necessary, trim any excess fat from the ham, leaving a thin layer for flavor and moisture.

2. Create the Glaze:

• In a mixing bowl, combine cherry cola, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and ground cloves. Whisk until the ingredients are well blended to create the glaze.

3. Glaze the Ham:

• Pour a portion of the glaze over the ham, ensuring it is coated evenly. Use a basting brush to spread the glaze evenly over the surface of the ham.

4. Slow Cook the Ham:

• Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook the ham on low heat for 6-8 hours or until the ham is tender and reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) for optimal doneness.

5. Baste Periodically:

• During the cooking process, baste the ham with the remaining glaze every 1-2 hours to keep it moist and flavorful. If desired, you can also insert whole cloves into the ham for added aroma and presentation.

6. Rest and Serve:

• Once the ham is cooked to perfection, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and transfer it to a serving platter.
• Tent the ham loosely with aluminum foil and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the ham moist and flavorful.

7. Slice and Enjoy:

• Slice the Slow Cooker Cherry Cola Ham into desired thickness, and serve warm with the remaining glaze from the slow cooker drizzled over the slices for extra flavor.
