Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 fully cooked ham 8 to 10 pounds, bone-in or boneless
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup apple juice or pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Whole cloves for scoring optional
  • 1 cup water

Equipment

  • 6 to 8-quart slow cooker
  • Sharp knife for scoring the ham
  • Cutting board
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons and measuring cups
  • Meat thermometer (optional but helpful)
  • Serving platter

Method
 

  1. Pour the water into the bottom of your slow cooker to create steam and prevent sticking.
  2. Place the ham on a cutting board and score the surface with a sharp knife, making shallow diagonal lines.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, apple juice, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, black pepper, and salt until smooth.
  4. Carefully place the scored ham into the slow cooker, cut side down.
  5. Brush or pour the glaze generously over the top and sides of the ham.
  6. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat for 6 to 8 hours.
  7. During the last hour, brush the reserved glaze over the ham.
  8. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer, aiming for 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  9. Remove the ham from the slow cooker and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.

Notes

Leftovers are fantastic cold or in sandwiches and salads.
