By using the slow cooker, the ham remains juicy, tender, and packed with flavor from the rich honey mustard glaze. The process is hands-off, allowing you to focus on other dishes or just relax while your ham cooks perfectly.
Ingredients:
- 1 spiral-sliced, fully-cooked boneless ham (4-7 pounds)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon or spicy brown mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions:
- Place the ham in the basin of your slow cooker.
- In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, mustard, cloves, garlic, and water. Heat over high heat until the sugar dissolves.
- Pour the glaze over the ham, ensuring to get it between the slices.
- Cover the slow cooker with a lid (or foil if necessary) and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or high for 2-3 hours until warmed through.
- Preheat the broiler. Transfer the ham to an oven-safe dish and pour the cooking liquid into a small saucepan. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened.
- Brush the thickened glaze onto the ham and broil for 4-5 minutes, basting with additional glaze every minute until the ham is glossy and caramelized.
Conclusion:
Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Ham is an easy, delicious, and elegant meal suitable for any occasion. The slow cooker ensures the ham retains its moisture, while the honey mustard glaze adds a rich, flavorful finish. Enjoy it warm or as leftovers in sandwiches, salads, or breakfast dishes.
