Boneless ham works best with this recipe as it is easier to work with. The bigger the cooker you have the bigger the amount of ham you can cook. This recipe is for a 5 to 8 cup rice cooker and is for previously uncooked ham. You can buy precooked ham and glaze using the slow cooker mathod but shorten the cooking time to 3 hours and follow the instructions from point 3. onwards. Adjust the quantities and timing according to the cooker size and ham type (cooked or uncooked).

Ingredients
Pre-sliced (or spiral ham) can be cooked and makes for a more intense flavour as the glaze permeates better through the ham. It’s also quicker than cooking from scratch. Thickening the glaze before pouring over the ham when serving is a great way to intensify the flavour and make the ham extra succulent and moist.
