The Perfect Main Course: Slow-Cooked Glazed Ham
Ingredients:
1 (7-8 pound) bone-in ham
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup honey
½ cup Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Mix together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl to make the glaze. Place the ham in the slow cooker and pour the glaze over it. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, basting occasionally with the glaze. The slow cooking process will make the ham tender and flavorful, with the glaze caramelizing on the outside for a beautiful presentation.
Tips for the Perfect Slow-Cooked Ham:
Choose a bone-in ham for maximum flavor. The bone adds richness and depth to the dish.
For a more intense flavor, score the ham before placing it in the slow cooker. This will allow the glaze to penetrate deeper into the meat.
Don't skip on basting the ham with the glaze. This will ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed and the ham stays moist.
For a crispy outer layer, place the ham under the broiler for a few minutes once it's done cooking in the slow cooker. This will also caramelize the glaze, adding a beautiful caramelized crust to the ham.
And there you have it, a delicious and effortless main course for your Christmas feast. Serve the slow-cooked glazed ham with your favorite sides and watch as your guests go back for seconds and thirds. This recipe is sure to become a holiday favorite and make your Christmas dinner a memorable one.
So this holiday season, take the stress out of cooking and let your slow cooker do the work. With this mouth-watering slow-cooked glazed ham, you'll have more time to spend with your loved ones and enjoy the true spirit of Christmas. Happy holidays!
