  • Total 3 hr 25 min
  • Ingredients 4
  • Servings 12

Ingredients

  • 1 fully cooked boneless ham (5 to 6 lb)
  • 1/2 cup honey Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup real maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Spray 6- to 7-quart oval slow cooker with cooking spray. Make cuts about 1 inch apart and 1/4 inch deep in diamond pattern in top of ham. Place ham in slow cooker.
  • 2
    In small bowl, stir together mustard, syrup and brown sugar with whisk until well blended. Pour mixture over ham.
  • 3
    Cover; cook on Low heat setting 3 to 4 hours or until meat thermometer inserted in ham reads 140°F.
  • 4
    Remove ham from slow cooker. Cover loosely with foil; let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Strain cooking juices. Slice ham; pour strained juices over ham.

  • A large slow cooker, with its moist environment, is perfect for reheating a fully-cooked ham. As the ham heats up, it releases juices that blend with the glaze, creating a delicious sauce to spoon over the sliced meat.
  • There are different varieties of ham and each one is prepared a little differently. A fresh ham is raw and uncured, so you’ll need to roast it before serving. A dry-cured ham, such as prosciutto, is usually considered pre-cooked. It is buried in salt, often along with sugar and spices, and then air-dried. For this recipe, look for a fully cooked, wet-cured ham that’s been soaked or injected with a spiced brine. It only needs to be cooked to an internal temp of 140°F.
  • Use real maple syrup — it's more expensive than maple-flavored corn syrup, but the flavor it delivers is worth the investment.
  • Have leftover cooked ham? Don’t toss it! Use it to create a next-day dinner like Easy Slow-Cooker Ham Bone Soup or Ham and Cheese Sliders.
