Ingredients
  

For the Ham
  • 1 Each Spiral-Cut Ham (8-10 lb) Use any fully cooked spiral-cut ham for convenience and flavor.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar, packed Adds sweetness and helps create a beautifully caramelized glaze; coconut sugar is a good substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Honey Enhances the sweetness and moisture of the glaze; consider maple syrup for a unique twist.
  • 1/2 cup Pineapple Juice Provides a fruity acidity that brightens the glaze; apple or orange juice works as substitutes.
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon Mustard Adds tanginess that balances the sweetness; yellow mustard is a simpler alternative.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves Lends warm spice notes to the glaze; feel free to omit if you prefer.
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Deepens flavor and sweetness; can be replaced with more honey if desired.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper Contributes a subtle hint of heat to contrast with the sweetness; adjust to taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot Spiral Ham
  1. Unwrap the spiral-cut ham and lay it flat side down in your crockpot.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the packed brown sugar, honey, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, maple syrup, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the glaze evenly over the ham, making sure it seeps between the slices.
  4. Cover the crockpot with its lid and set the temperature to low. Let the ham cook for approximately 4 hours.
  5. After 4 hours, check that the ham is thoroughly heated and the glaze is beautifully caramelized.
  6. Once done, carefully transfer the glazed ham to a serving platter and drizzle with any remaining glaze from the crockpot.
