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. |
