Cook Time 5 hours
Total Time 5 hours 5 minutes
Servings 1 ham

Ingredients
  

  • 8 lb spiral sliced ham
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup mustard
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp rubbed sage
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup water

Instructions
 

  • Make the glaze by heating the brown sugar, honey, mustard, ginger, clove, sage, pepper, cinnamon, and water in a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer. Let cook up to 5 minutes.
  • Prepare the 6-quart slow cooker by lightly greasing or by using a slow cooker liner if that's your jam. Transfer the ham to the slow cooker, and gently break apart the slices.
  • Pour the glaze over the ham, trying to cover as much as you can, including between the slices.
  • If the lid fits, you're golden. If not, you can make a lid with two large pieces of foil and a cooking towel. Tent the foil over the ham and tuck the edges along the sides of the ham. Place a towel over the foil to help trap the heat even further.
  • Cover and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours, basting every hour or so. When done, the ham should have an internal temperature of 140 F.
