Cook your spiral sliced ham in your slow cooker! It's brushed with a spiced honey mustard glaze. It comes out tender and juicy! If you'd like to brown up the top of the ham, brush with reserved glaze and broil for a few minutes.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 8-10 pound spiral sliced ham
Glaze:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup spicy brown mustard (I used Gulden's)
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (I used Frank's Red Hot) - Optional
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- In bottom of slow cooker stir together orange juice and brown sugar.
- Add ham to slow cooker with slices facing upwards.
- You can trim a little ham if needed to fit. (I just tucked the little pieces in next to the ham.)
- Stir together the glaze ingredients. Brush half over the top of the ham and reserve the rest.
- Set slow cooker to low, cover (I used the lid seal) and cook for about 6 hours or until ham reaches an internal temperature of at least 140 degrees F.
- If desired, when the ham is finished in slow cooker, you can remove to an oven/broil safe dish/pan, brush with remaining glaze, then broil about 4 inches from the heating elements for about 5 minutes or until the top is nicely browned.

May I ask what brand ham you used. The slices look thick and I like that.
Hi Krista – It was "Lancaster Brand" from my local ACME supermarket. Take care! Tina ( :
OMG. I have new slow cooker with a built in temperature probe, so I decided to use it cook my Christmas ham and free up my oven. I followed the directions. Had to cut off a bit of the 10lb ham and arrange around the sides. I set it for 145 degrees. It was done in six hours. It was absolutely the best ham I have ever tasted. Thank you so much for a perfect recipe. I will never cook a ham any other way.
Hi Sherry! So glad to hear!! We loved it too! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas! Take Care!
