Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pounds fully cooked spiral-cut ham
- 0.5 cups honey
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.25 cups orange juice
Instructions
Remove the ham from its packaging and discard any included glaze packet. Place the ham flat-side down into a large crock pot.
In a small saucepan, combine honey, brown sugar, unsalted butter, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and orange juice over medium heat.
Stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts completely. Heat for 2-3 minutes, but do not boil.
Using a basting brush or spoon, generously pour and spread the prepared glaze all over the ham, making sure to get the glaze in between the spiral cuts.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to LOW heat. Cook for 4 to 5 hours, basting the ham with the glaze and its juices every hour if possible.
Once the ham is heated through and caramelized on the edges, carefully remove it from the crock pot and transfer it to a serving platter.
Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with the additional glaze or juices drizzled over the slices.
