Follow these simple yet meticulous steps to achieve the ultimate Slow Cooker Copycat Honey Baked Ham:
Prepare Your Ham: Place the spiral sliced ham in the slow cooker, ready to be transformed into a culinary masterpiece.
Infuse with Flavor: Create a luscious glaze by combining honey with melted butter, then generously coat the ham with this irresistible mixture.
Slow Cook to Perfection: Set your slow cooker to low heat and let the ham simmer for approximately 4-5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together seamlessly.
Broil for a Caramelized Finish: As the cooking time nears its end, transfer the ham to a broiler to achieve a tantalizing caramelized exterior.
Craft the Glaze: In a saucepan, blend the remaining sugar mixture with ham juices and/or water, adding a splash of bourbon for an extra layer of flavor. Allow the glaze to boil briefly before generously coating the ham.
Final Touches: Give the glazed ham a final stint under the broiler, ensuring it achieves the perfect balance of caramelization without compromising on moisture.
Let it Rest: Allow the ham to rest briefly before serving, allowing the flavors to fully develop and ensuring a tender, succulent texture with every bite.
