Easy for the holidays let the slow cooker do most of the work while the important stuff is being made, desert.... :-)
The butcher recommended the butt portion and said it is the better quality cut. For this recipe, stick with the none sliced bone-in ham. Spiral sliced hams will dry out in the slow cooker and under the broiler. Keep in mind that hams are precooked, the trick is adding flavor and reheating them without drying them out.
Start by trimming excess fat and skin from the ham. I know it’s not the most attractive picture to share, but I think it’s important to see what the ham looks like going into the slow cooker. Use a paring knife to slice a grid pattern into the ham. The ham will shrink a bit as it cooks and this will leave room for the glaze to drip in and build flavor.
Add a cup of water to the slow cooker to ensure the ham does not dry out, and heat for 5-6 hours on low.
Once the ham is heated through, carefully remove the ham from the slow cooker and let it rest on a baking sheet for about 20 minutes. While the ham is resting, prepare the glaze by combining PURE MAPLE SYRUP, DARK BROWN SUGAR, BROWN MUSTARD, HONEY and CORNSTARCH. Bring to a boil and let it cook 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until the glaze has thickened. Set the glaze aside and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Spoon the glaze over the ham, making sure it is well covered. Finish the ham under the broiler until the glaze starts to caramelize, 5-7 minutes.
Do the glaze twice, one before the broiler and once after it comes out. It gives it just a little bit more to the taste.
If glaze cools too long and is overly thick, just reheat to make pour-able.
