Slow Cooked Ham in Cider Gravy

By á-6416

Ingredients

• 1 1-4 pound ham
• 2 cups apple cider, unsweetened
• 3/4 cups maple syrup
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Preparation

Step 1

Place the ham in a crockpot and cover with the cider and syrup. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
Transfer the ham to a plate. I find it easiest to move all the liquid to a large 4-cup measuring cup to more easily add liquid to the gravy a bit at a time.
Whisk the cornstarch with 1/2 cup of the cider on the stove-top over low heat until smooth. Increase the heat to medium-low. Whisking continuously, add the cider a little bit at a time, until it is all in the gravy. Keep whisking as the gravy bubbles until it is thickened. Serve with the ham.

Make Ahead and Storage

If you have excess gravy, serve it over mashed potatoes, or tightly seal it in a freezer bag and freeze.
