🛒 Ingredients
1 fully cooked spiral-sliced ham (6–8 lbs)
1 can pineapple rings (reserve the juice)
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup honey
¼ cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Maraschino cherries (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Ham
Place the spiral-sliced ham in a large slow cooker, cut side down.
Gently separate the slices slightly so the glaze can soak in.
2. Make the Glaze
In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and Worcestershire sauce.
Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the glaze becomes smooth.
3. Add the Pineapple
Arrange pineapple rings over the top of the ham.
Secure them with toothpicks if needed.
Pour half of the glaze over the ham.
4. Slow Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, or until the center reaches 140°F (60°C).
Baste occasionally with the cooking juices.
5. Caramelize the Ham
Transfer the ham carefully to an oven-safe dish.
Brush with the remaining glaze.
Broil for 3–5 minutes until beautifully caramelized and golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
6. Serve
Let rest for 10–15 minutes.
Slice and serve with the delicious pineapple glaze from the bottom of the dish.
❤️ Tips for the Best Ham
Use pineapple juice for extra sweetness and flavor.
Don’t skip the final caramelization!
Spoon the warm glaze over every slice before serving.
Enjoy.
