Ingredients
1 cup honey
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 (8 pound) fully cooked spiral-cut ham
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
1/4 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup reserved ham drippings
Instructions
1. Whisk honey, melted butter, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth.
2. Apply the mixture deep between the layers of the spiral-cut ham.
3. Place ham face down in the slow cooker and cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours.
4. Reserve 1/2 cup of the ham drippings from the bottom of the pot.
5. In a saucepan, simmer juices, mustard, sugar, extra honey, and drippings until reduced by half.
6. Pour the reduction over the ham and cook on Low for one final hour.
7. Transfer to a platter and brush with remaining glaze before serving.
Notes
Ensure the slow cooker lid is tightly sealed; use foil if the ham is too tall.
Allow the ham to rest for 15 minutes before carving to keep it juicy.
Use the leftover bone and liquid for a hearty bean soup.
