Ingredients

  • 4-5 pound fully cooked spiral boneless sliced ham (or 5-7lb bone-in spiral sliced ham)
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Garnish: fresh chopped parsley (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Grease the inside of a slow cooker with non-stick spray or butter. Place the ham in a slow cooker, cut side down. If needed, trim excess fat from the surface.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, whisk together the honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and cloves until well combined. Turn the heat to medium high and cook until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Carefully pour the honey glaze evenly over the ham, making sure it coats the surface well.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. Baste the glaze over the ham every 45-60 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the ham from the slow cooker once it’s heated through. Pour the liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Mix the cornstarch with a 1 tablespoon water to make a slurry, then whisk it into the simmering liquid. Cook for a few minutes until the glaze has thickened to your desired consistency.

  6. 6

    Arrange the sliced ham on a serving platter. Drizzle the thickened honey glaze on top and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
