Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (7-9 pound) fully cooked bone-in spiral ham
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cup canned pineapple juice (do not use fresh — see notes)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch ground cloves
- Cornstarch for thickening the glaze
Instructions
- Place the ham cut-side down in a large slow cooker.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, and black pepper until smooth.
- Pour or brush about one-third of the glaze over the ham, spreading it between the slices.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 3 to 4 hours, basting with the remaining glaze once or twice during cooking. The ham is ready when the internal temperature at the center reaches 140F.
- Transfer about 2 cups of the cooking liquid and any remaining glaze to a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Whisk 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with just enough cold water to dissolve it per cup of liquid you want to thicken. Whisk the slurry into the boiling liquid and simmer for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
- Slice the ham and arrange on a platter, or return it to the slow cooker on warm until ready to serve. Drizzle with glaze just before serving and pass extra glaze at the table.
Notes
Do not use fresh pineapple juice as it may cause the glaze to not thicken properly.
For thicker glaze, increase the amount of cornstarch as needed.
