1. Maple Baked Ham

This glazed ham is tender and infused with the taste of maple syrup.

Once cooked, place it at the centre of the table and it’s ready to be carved for a delicious meal.

For a ham recipe that’s easier to do, this slow cooker version is always popular. Brush the meat with mustard and stud it with cloves, and then add a mixture of beer and maple syrup to the cooking pot. Cook on low for 10 hours, and it’ll be perfectly tender just in time for your guests’ arrival.
