### Slow Cooker Honey Glazed Ham
This **Slow Cooker Honey Glazed Ham** is a simple and delicious dish that makes for an impressive centerpiece for any gathering. The slow cooking process ensures the ham stays moist and tender, while the honey glaze adds a sweet, caramelized flavor.
#### Ingredients
– 1 fully cooked ham (about 5-7 pounds)
– 1 cup honey
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Optional: whole cloves for studding the ham
#### Instructions
1. **Prepare the Ham:**
– If the ham has a thick layer of skin, you may want to trim it down to allow the glaze to penetrate. Score the surface in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep.
2. **Make the Glaze:**
– In a bowl, combine honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper. Mix well.
3. **Place in Slow Cooker:**
– Place the ham in the slow cooker, flat side down. If desired, stud the ham with whole cloves in the scored areas for added flavor and presentation.
4. **Apply the Glaze:**
– Pour the glaze over the ham, making sure to coat it evenly. Reserve some glaze for basting later.
5. **Cook:**
– Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until heated through and tender. Baste the ham with the glaze every couple of hours for extra flavor.
6. **Serve:**
– Once done, remove the ham from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve with the remaining glaze on the side.
### Tips
– **Leftovers:** Store leftover ham in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It’s great in sandwiches, soups, or salads.
– **Serving Suggestions:** Serve with sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
