Easy Ham Dinner

[KerryC]

I did a ham that was sooooo good!

I got a spiral cut ham.

On the stove I brought to a nice boil 1 cup of maple syrup and 1 cup of bourbon.

I put the ham in a crock pot and poured the hot maple syrup and bourbon over it making sure to get it in between all the slices. I “cooked” the ham until it was heated throughout and almost ready to fall off the bone, basting it every time I went past the crock pot. Took it out and sliced it.

I left a goodly chunk of meat on the bone and later used it in a pot of beans - boy they were good!

If there is any ham left over it makes wonderful sandwiches for lunch or breakfast sandwiches.

I never thought of doing a spiral ham in a crock-pot. they come out dry in the oven. ?
This sounds like a 'GOOD' way of cooking them with maple syrup & bourbon.
I make ham salad with relish for sandwich's & mayo.
I use the bone & left-over ham for spilt-pea soup. Than add diced carrots & potatoes.
Pork 'ham' and beans sounds good to me too. Alice

That sounds like about the best ham recipie I've ever seen! You didn't dilute the bourbon with TOO MUCH maple syrup, did you?!?!!? ;D
