Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bone-in spiral sliced ham 6 to 8 lbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Remove any excess from the ham as needed, then set it inside a slow cooker.
  2. Combine the melted butter and honey in a small bowl, then apply the blend all over the ham, working it into the cuts. Put the lid on and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours.
  3. Near the end of the cooking period, turn on the oven broiler to high and cover a roasting pan with foil.
  4. Mix the brown sugar, garlic powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, paprika, and salt together in a small bowl. Firmly press half of this blend onto the top of the ham.
  5. Broil until it bubbles and caramelizes, about 3 minutes, then take it out of the oven.
  6. Transfer the remaining sugar mixture into a small saucepan and set it over medium heat. Pour in 3 tablespoons of the ham liquid from the slow cooker (or water). Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  7. Boil for 1 minute, then take it off the heat. Coat the ham with the glaze, then broil again briefly, just 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Allow the ham to rest at least 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
