Slow Cooker Amish Christmas Ham Directions:
Unwrap the ham and remove any packaging or plastic bone guard. If the ham is not spiral-sliced, score shallow diamonds in the outer fat. Set it cut side down in a slow cooker large enough for the lid to close fully.
Whisk the brown sugar, vinegar, water, mustard, cloves, cinnamon, and ginger until the sugar starts to dissolve. Pour the glaze evenly over the ham.
Cover and heat on LOW for 6–8 hours. Start checking at 6 hours and remove the ham as soon as the thickest part reaches 140°F, measuring away from the bone.
Transfer the ham to a cutting board and rest for 10 minutes. Slice and spoon the warm cooking juices over the meat.
Practical Woman's Secret
If using a spiral-sliced ham, spoon a little glaze between a few slices before closing the lid. This seasons the cut surfaces without repeated basting.
Serving and Storage
Serve with roasted green beans or mashed potatoes. Refrigerate leftover slices promptly in shallow, covered containers and use within 3–4 days. Reheat portions with a little reserved glaze to 165°F.
