DIRECTIONS

Spiced Pear Ham: Discard glaze packet from ham. Blend brown sugar with mustard, cinnamon, ginger and cloves to make a spiced sugar. Set aside a loosely packed 1/4 cup measure of spiced sugar for chutney. Stir 1/4 cup of the pear nectar into remaining spiced sugar to make a glaze. 

Pour remaining pear nectar into 6-quart slow cooker. Add ham, skin-side up. Brush half of the glaze over any exposed areas. Cook ham on Low for 4 to 5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F. 

Transfer ham to a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush remaining glaze over ham; roast in preheated 425°F oven for 10 minutes, rotating once for even browning. Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes. Carve ham around the bone and serve with pear chutney. 


Pear Chutney: Combine pears, onion, red pepper, reserved spiced sugar, cider vinegar, maple syrup, thyme, salt and pepper in small saucepan. 

Set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until thickened and pears are tender.  

A Dash of Advice

Be sure to consider the length and depth of your slow cooker insert when choosing your ham. An 8lb ham will fit most 6-quart oval slow cookers, though ideally, look for a ham with a shorter bone. Don’t worry! If you misjudge in-store, you can trim off a portion of the ham to fit or use foil to tightly cover the top of the crock instead of the lid. Oven Variation: Place ham with nectar in small roasting pan, cover tightly with foil and bake at 275°F for about 10 minutes per pound or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F. Uncover ham and continue with glazing step as directed above (no need to transfer to baking sheet).
