Notes

Variations Ideas
  • Pineapple - If you love pineapple, toss in a few slices or chunks. Pineapple rings would also work placed on top of the ham. Plus, it would look pretty.
  • Brown Sugar - The brown sugar can easily be substituted with maple syrup, honey, or raw sugar. It may change the consistency so make changes to what you prefer.
  • Change Ham - Even though we love the flavor of the spiral ham, feel to cook the ham that you prefer. There are many options to choose from especially during the holidays.
How Long to Cook a Ham in the Slow Cooker
  • Cook on Low - Once you have placed your ham in the crock pot set it on low. It will need to cook for about 3-4 hours. Cook time could vary.
  • Use Meat Thermometer - To ensure that you ham is heated thoroughly you can use a meat thermometer. It will need to read around 140 degrees.
  • Remove From Slow Cooker - Once heated thoroughly, remove ham from crockpot and place on a platter.
  • Heat Juices - I like to pour the juice that is in the bottom of my crockpot into a saucepan. Then bring the juices to a simmer for about 6-8 minutes.
  • Pour Juices - Then pour the juices over the ham. Doing this just brings all the juices and ham together.
  • Thicker Glaze - If you prefer a thicker glaze. You can mix about 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2-3 tablespoon of water together. Then pour into the ham juice.
