Ingredients

• 6 pounds bone-in spiral-cut ham
• 1 cup honey
• 1.5 cups brown sugar
• 1 cup apple cider
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cloves
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Unwrap the ham and pat it dry with paper towels. Place it cut-side down in a large crock pot.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the honey, brown sugar, apple cider, unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, Dijon mustard, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Heat the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter and sugar melt and the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This usually takes about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Drizzle the honey mixture evenly over the ham, ensuring the glaze seeps into the spiral cuts.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook the ham on low for 6 hours or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).

Step 6

Every hour or so, carefully baste the ham with the juices from the bottom of the crock pot to keep it moist and flavorful.

Step 7

Once cooked, carefully remove the ham from the crock pot and place it on a serving platter. Allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite side dishes. If freezing leftovers for OAMC (Once-A-Month Cooking), slice the ham, divide it into meal-sized portions, and store in freezer-safe containers with a bit of the cooking juices for reheating.
