Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Ham: Place the boneless ham in your slow cooker, ensuring it’s nestled properly for even cooking.
  2. Mix the Sauce: Whisk together the apple juice, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until fully combined.
  3. Coat the Ham: Carefully pour the mustard mixture over the ham, ensuring it’s well-coated on all sides.
  4. Slow Cook the Ham: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low. Cook for 6 to 7 hours until tender.
  5. Shred the Ham: Remove the ham, shred it into bite-sized pieces using forks, discarding any excess fat.
  6. Prepare the Sauce: Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  7. Thicken the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  8. Combine Ham and Sauce: Return the shredded ham to the slow cooker and pour the thickened sauce over, gently stirring to coat.
  9. Serve and Garnish: Scoop the ham onto plates or sliders, and if desired, garnish with fresh parsley.
