A ham is not just for Christmas – I make this all year round and the slow-cooker method takes the stress out of it.

Soak the ham overnight in cold water to take the salt out before cooking. I’ll let you into a little secret – I always buy an extra-large ham so there are plenty of succulent leftovers to keep me in sandwiches for days afterwards.

Method
Step 1
Place half the orange slices in the bottom of the slow cooker and place the ham on top. Add the cloves, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaf and cider and cook on high for 4–5 hours or low for 7–8 hours. Allow to cool. You can also stud the ham with cloves for extra flavour, if you like.
Step 2
Place the remaining orange slices in an ovenproof dish and place the ham on top. Trim the skin and/or fat off the ham until just a thin layer of fat remains, then score it in a criss-cross pattern. Brush the ham with the honey and mustard, then cook in an oven preheated to 190˚C (375˚F) for 25–30 minutes, basting every 10 minutes.
