HONEY-BAKED SPIRAL HAM IN THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Spray the slow cooker insert with cooking spray and place ham inside.
• Combine honey, brown sugar, mustard, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking thoroughly, until sugar is melted and ingredients are combined, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Pour water into the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour sauce over the ham. Cover.
• Cook in the slow cooker on Low, 6 to 8 hours. Baste the ham with the juices from the bottom once every hour.
• Remove ham from the slow cooker. Pour juices from the bottom into a saucepan over medium heat. Mix cornstarch and water together in a bowl and pour into the saucepan. Cook until mixture thickens into a glaze, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour glaze over the ham or use as a gravy.

SPIRAL SLICED SMOKED BAKED HAM

Steps:

• 1. When you buy a spiral ham that is fully cook, it can be eaten cold or hot, but I like it baked a little anyway! To serve hot: Preheat oven to 325. Remove all packaging material from ham. Place ham into pan at least 1" deep.
• 2. Add at least 1/2 cup water. It won't hurt to add a cup. Your preference! Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• 3. Heat approximately 6 minutes per pound or to an internal temperature of 120 F. Do not overcook or your ham will dry out.
• 4. GLAZE: I think a glaze is important because it adds that little extra bit of zip. This one is my own creation, so the measurements are iffy! Start with a cup or so brown sugar. Add a big squirt of mustard (about 3 Tbsp). Add a little bit of that can of crushed pineapple (about 1/3 cup). Don't make it watery because you want it to stick to the ham. Another glaze option is 1 cup brown sugar, 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup honey and 1 tsp cinnamon. OR, you could use the pineapple rounds and use toothpicks to stick the toothpick to the ham. Use a little of the juice with the brown sugar mixture. It's pretty that way, but it will be good whatever you do.
• 5. Cook on the stovetop over medium heat, stirring until it thickens, for about 10 minutes.
• 6. With 15 minutes left, remove the ham from the oven. Take your foil off and brush the glaze over the ham. Let it kind of get crusty.
• 7. Put the ham back in the oven and let cook for remaining 15 minutes.
• 8. I think the main thing about the ham is the time you cook it. Remember for a pre-cooked ham, only 6 minutes for every pound! And LOW heat!
• 9. CARVING INSTRUCTIONS: For a half ham, lay ham on a cutting board or flat surface. Using a small knife, cut the front spiral section away from the bone. Proceed with remaining slices!
