Time 8h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

7-9 pound spiral ham (precooked and sliced)
2 Tablespoons dijon mustard (we like spicy Dijon mustard)
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup honey
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅓ cup water (cold)
2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray (if you have a slow cooker liner, I suggest using it to make clean-up a breeze). Place ham in the slow cooker.
  • Combine mustard, sugar, honey, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a sauce pan on medium heat. Let cook for 2-5 minutes (until ingredients melt and combine) and whisk thoroughly. Remove from heat.
  • Pour water in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour honey/brown sugar mixture over the ham.
  • If the lid does not fit over your ham, you can make a tin foil tent (I used an 8 lb ham and it didn't fit in my 6 quart slow cooker).
  • Cook the ham on low for 6-8 hours. Baste the ham with the juices in the bottom of the slow cooker once every hour.
  • Once your ham is done, remove it from your slow cooker. Pour the juices in the bottom of your slow cooker into a medium saucepan. Mix together 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch with 1 Tablespoon of water and pour into the saucepan. Cook on medium heat until it starts to thicken. Use that as a glaze over the ham or even as a gravy for potatoes.
  • Even if you don't have a slow cooker, you can still bake this ham in your oven. Once again, make a tent with aluminum foil and bake 15 to 20 minutes per pound at 350 degrees. Baste the ham once every thirty minutes.

SLOW-COOKED HONEY-GLAZED HAM



Slow-Cooked Honey-Glazed Ham image

The secret of this tender honey-baked ham is slow cooking. I start it in a low temp oven around 6 p.m. the night before if used for breakfast. If used for dinner, it can be started later in the evening, turned off and restarted the next morning. Don't use a spiral-sliced ham because it will dry out.

Time 17h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup honey
¼ cup molasses
¼ cup orange juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
10 (10 pound) shank ham

Steps:

  • Blend brown sugar, honey, molasses, orange juice, and mustard together in a saucepan over medium-low heat until thickened, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat. Let glaze sit until flavors blend, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Place ham in a roasting pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, checking occasionally, about 10 hours. If ham begins to darken at that point, cover with aluminum foil. Continue baking, about 2 hours more.
  • Increase oven temperature to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Bake, coating ham thoroughly with the glaze mixture every 30 minutes, about 2 hours more. Remove from the oven and let stand 15 to 20 minutes before slicing. Serve any remaining glaze with ham, if desired.
