Instructions
Creating this incredible Slow Cooker Honey Glazed Ham can be a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Place your slow cooker in a safe area and plug it in.
2. Score the Ham: With a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This allows the glaze to penetrate better.
3. Mix the Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
4. Place the Ham: Position the ham in the slow cooker, cut side down. This helps retain moistness during cooking.
5. Add the Glaze: Pour half of the glaze mixture over the ham. Be sure to coat it well.
6. Cook the Ham: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours, or until heated through. Baste occasionally with the juices.
7. Glaze Again: About 30 minutes before the ham is done cooking, pour the remaining glaze over the top for a glossy finish.
8. Check for Doneness: You can check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach at least 140°F (60°C).
9. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, carefully transfer the ham to a cutting board. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
10. Slice and Serve: Thinly slice the ham and arrange it on a serving platter. Drizzle some of the extra glaze over the top before serving.
Following these steps guarantees an amazing Slow Cooker Honey Glazed Ham that will impress everyone at your gathering.
