Heavenly Harvest Ham

A citrus and brown sugar glazed slow-cooked ham with a hint of ginger and clove.

Prep: 10 min. Total: 5 hours.

One 5-6 lb. precooked ham (not canned)
One orange, thinly sliced and seeded
One lemon, thinly sliced and seeded
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 TBSP. molasses
1 12-ounce can ginger ale
1 clove

Place the ham in the slow cooker. Alternate the slices of citrus over the top. Sprinkle the citrus with the brown sugar, covering as much of the outer surface of the ham as possible. Drizzle the molasses over the brown sugar. Then, sprinkle a little of the ginger ale over the top of the ham and pour the rest around the sides of the ham. Place the clove in the liquid, and then place the lid over the slow cooker. Bake one hour on high and 4-5 hours on low. Let ham sit for 15 minutes before slicing.

This makes a wonderfully tender aromatic ham steak to be served as a main course for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Great holiday faire -- festive and easy. Leftovers make great Monte Cristo sandwiches, minestrone or split pea soup.
