Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 boneless spiral sliced ham about 4 pounds
Instructions
- Pour the water or other liquid inside the slow cooker, and set the heat at Low.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the pepper and garlic powder.
- Add the honey and Dijon mustard, and stir until fully combined.
- Place the ham in the slow cooker, and gently separate the slices with a fork.
- Drizzle the sauce over the ham and inside each slice.
- Put the heat on Low, cover and cook just until the ham is warmed through and reaches an internal temperature of 120 degrees F, about 1.5 to 2 hours. Your exact heating time may vary. (Do not overcook.) Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Holding: You can hold the ham for up to 1 hour before serving by wrapping it in aluminum foil. Use tongs to transfer the whole ham to a large sheet of foil, spoon some of the juices on top, and wrap tightly until serving time.
Storage: Store leftover honey glazed ham in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freezing: Wrap ham slices tightly in parchment paper, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months for best quality. Thawing: Thaw frozen ham overnight in the refrigerator. Reheating: Place ham slices in a covered baking dish with a little extra glaze or water. Warm in a 325 degree F oven until heated through, or microwave individual portions in short intervals until warm.
