Crockpot Spiral Ham
Description
The recipe calls for placing a 5-8 pound boneless spiral ham into a slow cooker lined with a liner for easy cleanup. A glaze is made by gently heating honey, butter, and brown sugar until combined. This glaze is brushed liberally over the ham before starting, then reapplied every 30 to 45 minutes during the approximate 5-hour cook on low. The slow cooker environment keeps the ham moist and allows flavors to infuse. The internal temperature should reach 140°F before serving to ensure proper warming without drying the meat.
The glaze melds sweet and buttery tones with the savory ham, and the slow cooking method is well-suited to hands-off preparation of a large ham, convenient for gatherings or special meals. The recipe notes that either bone-in or boneless ham may be used, provided it fits in the slow cooker. The continuous glazing helps develop a shiny, flavorful exterior.
Ingredients
- 5-8 pound ham see note, spiral sliced, boneless whole
- 3/4 cup honey
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Line a 6-8 quart slow cooker with a crockpot liner.
- Place the ham in the lined crockpot and set the heat to low.
- Add the honey, butter, and brown sugar to a small sauce pan over low heat and cook, stirring often, until melted and combined.
- Liberally brush the glaze over the ham.
- Cover and cook for 5 hours, brushing with the glaze every 30 - 45 minutes. You may not use all of the glaze.
- Ham should reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees before serving. Cook time will vary based on the size of your ham and your slow cooker, but should be close to the 5 hour mark.
Notes
- Choose a spiral-sliced ham (boneless or bone-in) that fits your slow cooker, typically 5-8 pounds.
- Use a crockpot liner for simpler cleanup after cooking.
- Brush the glaze every 30 to 45 minutes during cooking to build a flavorful coating.
- Cook until the internal temperature reaches 140°F before serving to ensure proper warming.
