For a deeper flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If the ham has a thick skin, you can score it in a diamond pattern before applying the brown sugar. This will allow the sugar to penetrate more deeply and create a beautiful glaze. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker. Check for doneness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the ham; it should be very tender. Serve with your favorite holiday sides, such as mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and cranberry sauce.
