Pioneer Woman Slow Cooker Ham Recipe Tips:

• 🍯 Ham in a Maple Glazed Slow Cooker. For a rich, caramel-like flavor, use ½ cup of pure maple syrup instead of honey. The brown sugar and maple syrup blend exquisitely to provide a rich, viscous glaze. To balance the sweetness and intensify the tastes, add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. This version complements roasted root vegetables by adding a rustic, woodsy touch. In the meantime, baste the ham once per hour to create a sticky, glossy finish.
• 🍊 Slow Cooked Citrus-Honey Ham. For a vibrant zing, use a mixture of fresh orange and lemon juice in place of pineapple juice. To intensify those bright citrus notes, add ½ teaspoon of orange zest to the glaze mixture. For added scent, scatter a few orange slices around the ham as it cooks. This variation is ideal for Easter Sunday buffets or spring brunches because it feels lighter and brighter. There is a fresh blast of citrus sweetness with every bite, along with juicy, succulent ham.
• 🍍 Slow Cooked Pineapple-Bourbon Ham. Before mixing the glaze together, mix the pineapple juice with ¼ cup of high-quality bourbon. The finished ham retains a toasty, smoky-sweet aroma as the bourbon boils down. During the lengthy cooking process, sprinkle a few pineapple rings on top of the ham to slowly caramelize it. Its richness from this Southern twist makes it perfect for casual weekend feasts or supper parties. As this is going on, the glaze hardens into a rich, alcoholic sauce that is ideal for spreading over thick slices of ham. For a traditional Southern-style spread, serve it with green beans and mashed sweet potatoes.
