Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds boneless smoked ham
  • 2 cups port wine (or use red grape juice)
  • 1/3 cup low sodium beef broth
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Take a knife or fork and poke ham all over. Don't try to butcher it, just gently pierce
it. Pour port wine, beef broth and 1/3 cup water into a slow cooker. Stir to blend well. Add ham to slow cooker.
Cover and cook on low heat setting for about 6 hours. About 15 minutes before you are ready to serve, mix
together cornstarch and water in a small bowl until cornstarch is dissolved. Place raisins, brown sugar, and red wine vinegar in a saucepan. Bring to a low boil and simmer for about 5 minutes. Pour cornstarch mixture into raisin sauce and then simmer until sauce is thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove ham from slow cooker and serve with sauce.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Steamed cauliflower and baked acorn squash drizzled with maple syrup.
