- 1/2 cup lemon spread
- 2 tbsp fancy molasses
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard
- 1/2 cup ginger ale
Directions
- Score ham in a criss-cross fashion to make diamonds.
- Using a thin metal skewer, poke a small hole in centre of each diamond. Insert a clove into each hole.
- To prepare glaze, combine lemon spread, molasses, ginger and dry mustard until blended. Brush half of glaze over top and sides of ham.
- Pour ginger ale into a 4 1/2 - 5 quart slow cooker.
- Place ham in slow cooker. Cover and cook on high heat setting, basting twice with remaining glaze, for 4 hours or until a meat thermometer registers 140ºF.
- Let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Remove and discard cloves before serving.
