Crockpot Spiral Ham
Description
The Crockpot Spiral Ham begins with placing a 7 to 8-pound spiral sliced ham flat side down in a slow cooker, discarding any glaze packet or plastic parts. Brown sugar is rubbed over the surface, then maple syrup (or honey) and pineapple juice are poured on top to create a sweet and tangy glaze that gently coats the meat during cooking.
Cooking on low heat for four hours ensures the ham is thoroughly heated and the flavors meld without drying out. Periodic basting with the cooking juices helps keep the ham moist and enhances its glossy appearance. The slow cooker method is ideal for busy occasions as it requires minimal attention and frees oven space for other dishes.
The resulting ham is tender with mild sweetness and can be served hot for a main course, sliced thin alongside sides or sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 7-8 lb ham spiral sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 cup pineapple juice
Instructions
- Unwrap ham and place flat side down in a large slow cooker. Throw away glaze packet and any plastic pieces that cover the bone.
- Rub brown sugar over the sides.
- Pour on syrup and pineapple juice.
- Cook on low for 4 hours.
- Baste ham with the juices from the bottom of the slow cooker occasionally while it is cooking and right before you serve it.
Notes
- Dispose of the glaze packet and any plastic covering the bone before cooking.
- Baste the ham occasionally during cooking and just before serving to retain moisture and enhance flavor.
- This recipe suits holiday meals or occasions where oven space is limited and slow cooking is preferred.
