Ingredients

  • 1 small bone-in half ham (about 6 lb.)
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1/2 cup red currant jelly
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1 small bone-in half ham (about 6 lb.)
1 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup red currant jelly
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar





1. Place ham in slow cooker, pour in pomegranate juice, cover and cook on low until completely warmed through, 4 to 6 hours, basting once or twice. Put jelly in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, stirring, until softened.

Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Cover and refrigerate jelly until ready to use.

2. In a small saucepan, combine 3 Tbsp. of cooking liquid from slow cooker with jelly, mustard and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved.

Remove 1 cup of cooking liquid from slow cooker; discard. Pour jelly mixture over ham. Cover cooker and increase heat to high. Cook for about 30 minutes, basting often, until shiny and glazed. Transfer ham to a platter and let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes; serve.
