Ingredients

6-7	lbs smoked pork shoulder or picnic ham
1/4	cup honey
1/4	cup spicy brown mustard
1/4	teaspoon ground ginger
1/4	teaspoon ground cloves
1/2	teaspoon ground cinnamon
1	juice of an orange
1	juice of a lemon
1	juice of a lime
1	cup ginger ale

Instructions

• 1. Prepare a 6-quart slow cooker by unwrapping the ham and discarding the flavor packet. Place the ham in the insert, flat side down.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine honey, spicy brown mustard, ground ginger, ground cloves, and ground cinnamon. Evenly smear this flavorful paste all over the ham. For enhanced flavors, prepare this step a day in advance.
  3. Extract the juice from the orange, lemon, and lime into a sauce bowl. Add the juices over the ham along with the ginger ale. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for about 3 hours. If using a spiral cut ham without the bone, cook for a maximum of 6 hours.
  4. After cooking, the ham can remain in the slow cooker on a warm setting. Alternatively, carve the ham, return it to the pot, and keep it warm in the flavorful sauce until ready to serve.
