Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 lbs fully cooked bone-in ham
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp ground cloves
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Unwrap the ham and place it in a large crock pot. If it doesn’t fit, trim as necessary to fit snugly, ensuring the lid can close properly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and water until fully combined.
Pour the maple syrup mixture evenly over the ham, ensuring the entire surface is coated. Use a basting brush if needed for even coverage.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and set it to low heat.
Cook on low for 5 hours, basting the ham with the glaze every hour to ensure maximum flavor absorption.
About 15 minutes before serving, carefully transfer the ham to a cutting board and allow it to rest.
Pour the remaining glaze from the crock pot into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Slice the ham and serve warm with the reduced glaze drizzled on top.
