Ingredients
- 7 pound bone-in spiral-cut ham, fully cooked , fully cooked
- ½ cup orange juice , divided. You may use pineapple juice instead. To make it KETO, use chicken broth though.
- ½ cup brown sugar To make this brown sugar glaze for ham KETO, use Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute.
- 1 ¼ cups orange marmalade To make it KETO, use a sugar-free marmalade instead.
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce Use a gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free recipe!
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice
- 1 teaspoon sriracha hot chili sauce
- orange zest optional
Instructions
- Place the ham face down in the crockpot. Pour ¼ cup of the orange juice over the ham. Rub ham with brown sugar.
- Prepare an easy ham glaze recipe: Mix the glaze (¼ cup orange juice, marmalade, mustard, soy sauce, vinegar, spice, and sriracha) and pour over the ham, reserving about a third.
- Cover tightly, and set to cook on low for about 3-4 hours (or 30 minutes per pound). Baste the ham halfway through the cooking time and then again about an hour before the ham is done!
- About 10 minutes before the cooking time ends, heat the orange glaze mixture on the stovetop over medium heat until thickened (about 3-5 minutes). Glaze slow cooker spiral ham, sprinkle orange zest on top if desired, and serve!
Notes
- Estimate about ½ pound of boneless ham per person and ¾ of bone-in ham per person.
- You can use a bone-in or boneless, whole or spiral, cured or uncured, smoked or not, ham to prepare this recipe. But keep in mind that a pre-cooked, bone-in ham will reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees F faster than either a fresh or a pre-cooked, boneless ham. Do not overcook it; otherwise, ham will be tough and dry!
- If you are serving a family of 4-5 people, a 2-3 pound ham is the best option unless you want leftovers to eat later or use to make other dishes.
- A 7-pound or less bone-in ham will fit a 6-qt. or larger crockpot. If the ham is more than 7 pounds, you may need to either cook it in a larger slow cooker or trim off a chunk of the ham to make it fit. The lid has to fit tightly to cook or reheat the ham properly.
- STORAGE: Store cool leftover ham with its juices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days. Or freeze for up to 2 months.
- To make this crockpot ham low carb, replace orange juice with chicken broth, use a sugar-free marmalade, and substitute sugar-free honey or maple syrup for brown sugar.
