Ingredients
  

For the Ham
  • 4-5 pounds Boneless Ham Choose a high-quality ham for maximum tenderness and flavor.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Apple Juice or Cider Adds moisture and sweetness; white grape juice is a great substitute.
  • ½ cup Dijon Mustard Infuses the dish with that essential sharp flavor; yellow mustard offers a milder option.
  • ¼ cup Whole Grain Mustard Provides texture and rustic notes; coarse mustard varieties work well.
  • ¼ cup Honey Brings natural sweetness; swap with maple syrup for a unique twist.
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar Enhances sweetness and caramel notes; light or dark brown sugar works.
  • 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar Brightens flavor; lemon juice is a good alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Adds mild flavor; fresh garlic can be used for a stronger profile.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder Gives sweet depth; fresh onions can alter the texture.
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper Adds warmth and spice; adjust according to preference.
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream Creates rich creamy sauce; half-and-half can lighten it.
For Garnish
  • Fresh Parsley Optional; adds color and fresh flavor.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Place your boneless ham directly into the slow cooker base, ensuring it fits snugly without pressing against the sides.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together apple juice or cider, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Pour the mustard sauce evenly over the ham, ensuring it is fully covered.
  4. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low heat for 6-7 hours until the ham is tender.
  5. Once done, remove the ham using tongs and let it rest before shredding it with forks.
  6. Pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened, then stir in heavy cream.
  7. Return the pulled ham to the slow cooker, mixing it with the creamy sauce and allowing it to warm through.
