Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ham

Start by removing the packaging from your ham and pat it dry with paper towels. If you’re using a bone-in ham, score the top in a criss-cross pattern to allow the glaze to penetrate the meat better. This also helps to create those beautiful caramelized bits on the surface.

2. Make the Glaze

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, and water. Stir together until smooth and well-mixed. If you like a little extra spice or warmth in your glaze, add cinnamon and ground cloves. This gives the ham a festive, aromatic flavor that will be the talk of the table.

3. Slow Cook the Ham

Place the ham in your slow cooker, flat-side down. Pour the glaze over the top of the ham, making sure to cover it as evenly as possible. If there’s any extra glaze left, you can pour it around the sides of the ham.

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the ham is heated through and tender. If your ham is larger or thicker, you may need to cook it for a little longer. The slow cooker method ensures the ham is perfectly juicy and infused with flavor, with the glaze slowly soaking into the meat.
