Recipe Tips

For added flavor, you can add other ingredients to the broth mixture such as orange juice, garlic, rosemary, or thyme. You can also add a few tablespoons of white wine for a more complex flavor. You can also add a few tablespoons of butter or olive oil to the broth mixture for added richness.

For a crispier ham, you can place the cooked ham in a preheated oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Be sure to watch the ham closely so it doesn't burn.

This recipe can also be adapted for a slow cooker. Place the frozen ham and broth mixture in a slow cooker, set the timer to 8 hours, and cook on low to medium heat. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the ham.
