INSTRUCTIONS:
Advertisement: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.
