Scale
- 10 lb bone-in spiral sliced half ham2 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp Butter, melted
- 3 Tbsp Honey
- 1-1/2 cups Granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- Pinch allspice
Instructions
- Slow cooker method: Combine melted butter and honey, then massage over ham, getting in between the slices a little. Trim ham if needed, then place in slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW 4-5 hours.
- Oven method: Combine melted butter and honey, then massage over ham, getting in between the slices a little. Cover entire ham with foil. Bake in preheated 275 degree F oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes.
- At the end of the cooking time, preheat broiler to HIGH, and line a roasting pan with heavy duty aluminum foil. Lining with foil is essential as glaze hardens when cooled making the pan cleanup a nightmare.
- Combine sugar, seasoned salt, onion powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, paprika and allspice in a small bowl. Pat half of the sugar mixture over the top of the ham.
- Broil for several minutes, until bubbly and caramelized, then remove from oven.
- To a small saucepan, add remaining sugar mixture. Add 3 Tbsp of either water or ham juices from bottom of the slow cooker. Stir, and heat to a boil. Boil for about a minute, then remove from heat.
- Brush or pour glaze over the ham, then broil again for a minute or two (careful… don’t let it burn!). Remove from oven and let ham rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve warm or cold and enjoy!
Notes
If using an infrared broiled, be extremely careful not to burn. You can also use a kitchen torch to caramelize the glaze.
