Instructions

Place the unwrapped ham with the flat side down into your crockpot.
6 pounds spiral sliced ham
In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, juice, mustard cornstarch, and seasonings for the glaze.
1 cup light brown sugar, ½ cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, ½ tablespoon ground cumin, ½ tablespoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 1 tablespoon cornstarch
After that, rub half the glaze over the surface of the ham. Cover and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F.
If you like, you can occasionally base the ham with the liquid from the bottom of the crockpot.
Serve the ham with the leftover glaze liquid on the side.

Notes

How much ham should I buy?

4 people: 1 to 2 pounds
6 people: 2 to 3 pounds
10 people: 3 to 5 pounds
12 people: 4 to 6 pounds

How do I know if the ham is done?

To check the temperature of your ham to be sure it is warm in the center, use a meat thermometer to test the interior temperature. It is recommended that pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 140F.

Optional: To carmelize the top of the ham, place it onto a foil-lined baking sheet in the oven until the broiler for a few minutes - watch closely so it doesn't burn.
