Main Ingredients

  • 1 piece boneless ham, approximately 4-5 pounds
  • 1 cup apple juice or cider
  • 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey Can substitute with maple syrup.
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar Reduce to 2 tablespoons for a lighter version.
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Don’t skip this ingredient.
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream Can substitute with half-and-half.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley Optional, for garnish.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Place the boneless ham in the bottom of your slow cooker, keeping it centered.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple juice, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until combined.
  • Pour the mustard mixture over the ham, ensuring it’s well-coated.

Cooking

  • Cover the slow cooker and set it on low for 6-7 hours, or until the ham is tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.
  • Once the cooking time is complete, remove the ham from the slow cooker and place it on a large cutting board. Use two forks to shred the ham into bite-sized pieces.
  • To make the creamy mustard sauce, pour the cooking liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Return the pulled ham to the slow cooker and pour the creamy mustard sauce over it. Stir to coat.

Serving

  • Serve the creamy mustard pulled ham warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Leftovers keep well, storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For freezing, portion into meal-sized containers and freeze up to 3 months.
