Ingredients

  • 1 1-4 pound ham
  • 2 cups apple cider, unsweetened
  • 3/4 cups maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Preparation

Step 1

Place the ham in a crockpot and cover with the cider and syrup. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.

Step 2

Transfer the ham to a plate. I find it easiest to move all the liquid to a large 4-cup measuring cup to more easily add liquid to the gravy a bit at a time.

Step 3

Whisk the cornstarch with 1/2 cup of the cider on the stove-top over low heat until smooth. Increase the heat to medium-low. Whisking continuously, add the cider a little bit at a time, until it is all in the gravy. Keep whisking as the gravy bubbles until it is thickened. Serve with the ham.
