How to prepare Slow Cooker Apricot Dijon Spiral HamIngredients

One 7-9 pound fully cooked spiral ham
1 cup apricot preserves
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, ginger, and cloves until well combined. (5 minutes)
2. Place the spiral ham cut-side down in a slow cooker. (2 minutes)
3. Pour the apricot-Dijon glaze evenly over the ham, ensuring it gets into some of the crevices. (3 minutes)
4. Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or until the ham is heated through and the glaze is bubbly. Baste the ham with the glaze in the slow cooker every hour to keep it moist and flavorful. (4-6 hours)
5. Carefully remove the ham from the slow cooker and transfer to a serving platter. (2 minutes)
6. Spoon any remaining glaze from the slow cooker over the ham. (1 minute)
7. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. (10 minutes)

Pro tip: For a beautiful presentation, score the ham in a diamond pattern before glazing.
