Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 lbs bone-in spiral-cut ham
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 0.5 tsp ground cloves
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Place the ham flat-side down in a large slow cooker.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, ground cloves, and water until combined.
Pour the glaze mixture over the ham, ensuring it is evenly coated. Use a spoon to scoop up juices and drizzle over any exposed parts of the ham.
Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 6 hours, basting the ham with the cooking juices every 1-2 hours to keep it moist and flavorful.
After 6 hours, carefully transfer the ham to a serving platter. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Spoon some of the leftover glaze from the slow cooker over the ham before serving for extra flavor.
