Red Currant Glazed Ham

Red Currant Glazed Ham

8 lb spiral sliced ham
1/2 cup cran-apple juice
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 cup red currant jelly
1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
2 tsp cider vinegar

Place the ham cut side down in a large crockpot. Pour the cran-apple juice over it and cook on Low for 6 hours.

Meanwhile, using a heavy pan, crush the peppercorns; place them in a bowl. Add the jelly, mustard and cider vinegar to the bowl and mix well to make a glaze. Transfer 1⁄2 cup of the glaze to a second bowl and set aside for serving.

About an hour before the ham is done, brush with glaze, then brush it again about half and hour before serving.

This was good...not as good as a ham that's NOT already sliced would have been, but I did like the sauce. I can never figure out why John likes these spiral-sliced hams when they always turn out so much drier than just a plain old unsliced ham!
