Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pure honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 5–7 lb bone-in ham (well-marbled)
Instructions
- Prep Your Slow Cooker: Place your slow cooker on a stable surface. Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern to help the glaze penetrate.
- Mix Your Glaze: In a bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
- Apply the Glaze: Rub half of the spiced honey glaze all over the scored ham, ensuring it's thoroughly coated.
- Slow Cook Away: Place the glazed ham in your slow cooker and pour any remaining glaze over it. Cover and cook on low for about six hours or until heated through.
- Crisp It Up (Optional): For a crispy finish, transfer the ham to a baking dish and broil for about five minutes after slow cooking.
- Serve It Up: Let the ham rest for ten minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes, drizzling slices with leftover glaze.
