Spiced Maple-glazed Pulled Ham

Spiced Maple-glazed Pulled Ham

An Easter staple, Quebec pork goes deliciously well with maple syrup from here!

Ingredients

  • 1 ham shoulder on the bone (Picnic ham)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 30 ml mustard seeds
  • 14 black peppercorns
  • 14 ml fennel seed
  • 6 whole cloves
  • 250 ml maple syrup
  • Water

Preparation

  1. Using a sharp knife, score a diamond pattern into the rind.
  2. Mix the spices and rub them onto the rind.
  3. Place the ham into a slow cooker, drizzle it with the maple syrup and pour in water to cover the ham to midpoint. Cook at low for about 10 hours. If you do not have a slow cooker, cook the ham in the oven at 340°F / 175° C for 3 to 4 hours, covered.
  4. Take the ham out of the slow cooker or oven, and shred it using two forks.

Pulled ham can be prepared in advance and reheated at brunch time. You can serve it as is or in sandwiches, in Kaiser-style rolls with sweet mustard and strong cheddar cheese.
