Ingredients<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • 2 pounds shaved deli ham<\/li>\n
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd cup pure maple syrup<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/li>\n
  • \u00bd teaspoon garlic powder<\/li>\n
  • \u00bc teaspoon onion powder<\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or a little butter to prevent sticking.<\/li>\n
    2. Add the shaved deli ham to the slow cooker, gently separating the slices so the glaze can coat every piece evenly.<\/li>\n
    3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.<\/li>\n
    4. Pour the glaze evenly over the ham. Use tongs or two large spoons to gently toss everything together until all of the ham is coated.<\/li>\n
    5. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on Low for 2 to 3 hours<\/strong> or on High for 1 to 1\u00bd hours<\/strong>. Stir once or twice during cooking if possible to help the ham absorb the flavorful glaze.<\/li>\n
    6. Once heated through and beautifully coated in the thickened sauce, give the ham one final stir. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Pile the warm ham onto toasted brioche buns or Hawaiian rolls for delicious sandwiches.<\/li>\n
      • Top with Swiss or cheddar cheese and melt under the broiler.<\/li>\n
      • Serve alongside creamy mashed potatoes or buttered noodles.<\/li>\n
      • Spoon over steamed white rice for a quick dinner.<\/li>\n
      • Add to baked potatoes with shredded cheese and sour cream.<\/li>\n
      • Pair with roasted green beans, carrots, or corn on the cob for a complete meal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Tips<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • Use good-quality shaved deli ham for the best texture and flavor.<\/li>\n
        • If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add an extra tablespoon of maple syrup.<\/li>\n
        • For a little heat, stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce.<\/li>\n
        • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat beautifully in the microwave or on the stovetop.<\/li>\n
        • This recipe is also excellent for parties, potlucks, game day gatherings, and holiday meals because it stays warm in the slow cooker until you’re ready to serve.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
