Description
A tender and flavorful Slow Cooker Honey Glazed Ham made with a simple 4-ingredient glaze. Sweet, savory, effortless, and perfect for holidays or family dinners.
Ingredients
4–5 pound boneless, spiral sliced ham (pre-cooked)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup water
Optional – Thicken the Glaze:
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
Instructions
Spray the slow cooker insert with cooking spray. Place the ham flat side down inside.
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and water. Stir for 1–2 minutes until sugar dissolves.
Pour the glaze evenly over the ham.
Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours.
Baste the ham 3–4 times during cooking using a spoon or baster.
Remove the ham and place it on a serving plate. Finish slicing along the spiral cuts if needed.
Spoon the glaze from the slow cooker over the sliced ham and serve warm.
Optional – Thicken the Glaze:
Pour leftover liquid from the slow cooker into a saucepan.
Mix cornstarch and cold water, then stir into the saucepan.
Cook over medium-high heat until boiling, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened.
Notes
Use a pre-cooked spiral ham; this recipe warms and flavors it, rather than fully cooking it.
A 4 lb ham cooks in about 5 hours; larger hams may reach 6 hours.
The glaze thickens as it cools.
For a smoother sauce, strain liquid before thickening.
