For the Glaze
  • 1 cup 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup 1/2 cup brown sugar

  • 1/4 cup 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start with a fully cooked ham. Rinse it under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. If not spiral sliced, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1 inch apart.
Make the Glaze
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, cinnamon, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Cooking
  1. Position the ham in the slow cooker and pour the glaze generously over it, ensuring it settles in all those delicious scored cuts.
  2. Cover and set your slow cooker to low for about 6-8 hours or until the ham is heated through and tender.
Serving
  1. Once done, carefully remove the ham and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with extra glaze drizzled on top.

Notes

Substitutions: Swap out Dijon mustard for honey mustard for a milder version. Adjust cooking time based on ham size to avoid drying out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 140°F. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
