Ingredients
Scale
For the Ham
- 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (about 6–8 lbs)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh herbs (such as rosemary or thyme)
- Pineapple slices (for serving)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ham
- Score the Ham: Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This allows the glaze to penetrate the meat better.
- Place in Crockpot: Place the ham in the crockpot, flat side down.
Step 2: Make the Maple Glaze
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 3: Glaze the Ham
- Pour Glaze: Pour the maple glaze over the ham, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Use a brush to spread some of the glaze into the scored areas if desired.
Step 4: Cook the Ham
- Cover and Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours. The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
Step 5: Baste and Serve
- Baste: If possible, baste the ham with the juices from the crockpot every couple of hours for extra flavor and moisture.
- Rest and Slice: Once cooked, remove the ham from the crockpot and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Serve warm, drizzled with extra glaze from the crockpot. Garnish with fresh herbs or pineapple slices if desired.
