How to Make Slow Cooker Ham W/ Brown Sugar
- Gather ingredients: Start by collecting all the necessary items: your bone-in ham, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar for a delightful glaze.
- Mix the glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the light brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, ground cinnamon, and apple cider vinegar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, creating a luscious glaze for your ham.
- Score the ham: Using a sharp knife, score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern. This technique helps the glaze seep into the meat, enhancing flavor and moisture.
- Apply the glaze: Generously rub the prepared glaze all over the scored ham, ensuring that it gets into every cut and nook.
- Cook in the slow cooker: Place the beautifully glazed ham in your slow cooker. Cover it securely and set the heat to low. Let it cook for 6 to 8 hours, or until the ham is tender and heated through.
- Slice and serve: Once cooked, take the ham out and let it rest briefly before slicing. Drizzle the remaining glaze over the slices for that extra burst of flavor.

Notes
Always ensure your bone-in ham is fully thawed before cooking. Check the internal temperature of the ham; it should reach at least 140°F for safe consumption.
