This is a lovely recipe - perfect for Christmas.

For those who seem confused, here is how I would take these marvellous ideas and make them my own.

1) Add spices to apple juice.

2) Score the ham and press each of the 30 whole black cloves into the grooves (see photo).

3) Put ham in slow cooker. Pour over spiced apple juice leaving part of the ham protruding about 2 inches above the surface.

4) Pat the brown sugar onto the ham that is above the surface of the liquid.

5) Pour in maple syrup and add the long strip of orange peel.

6) In any remaining space, add small cider apples.

7) Cover and cook for 8 to 10 hours on low setting.

Well done - great ideas.

the ingredients say ground cloves, but the recipe says whole cloves! and there is no mention of cider in the ingredients, but there is cider in the recipe

Yes that's right but the recipes should say "just below the top of the ham". I have adjusted it. The garlic and sugar will collect in the grooves and infuse into the meat.

Slightly confused by this. Says pour in the apple juice just above surface of ham ( so immersing it). Then says to rub on sugar. Under the juice? Followed by cider when the ham is already fully under fluid?
