Crockpot Ham – a delicious, easy and no-fuss slow cooker ham recipe that is perfect for Easter, Christmas or any holiday meal! Glaze included!
Ingredients
Scale
Ham
- 7–8lb ham
- 1/4 cup orange juice
Glaze
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Instructions
- Score ham with sharp paring knife and place cut side down in the slow cooker. Add orange juice to the bottom of the pan.
- In a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice and dijon mustard. Stir to combine.
- Use a basting brush to brush 1/2 of the brown sugar mixture all over the ham – reserve the remaining glaze for later.
- Cover slow cooker and set to LOW.
- Let cook until internal temperature reaches 140 degrees F. at it’s thickest point (approx. 4-5 hours, may take longer depending upon how big the bone is – will take less time if it is a boneless ham). With 10-15 minutes remaining on the cook time, brush on the remaining half of the glaze and cover until done.
- Remove and let the fully cooked ham rest 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can put in the oven under the broiler for a few minutes to make the glaze more tacky and the outside more crispy, but this is not required – up to personal preference.
- Slice and serve- enjoy!
Notes
- Crisp it up: if you want to crisp up the outside more, feel free to pop this in the oven under the broiler for just a few minutes (watch carefully) before serving. This will make the glaze nice and sticky – but if you don’t want the extra dishes or just don’t feel like it, it works perfectly without this step – really up to personal preference!
- Save the Bone: if you use a bone-in ham be sure to save the bone and make some Ham + Split Pea Soup or Ham Bone Soup!
- Leftover Ham: use leftovers for sandwiches, sliders, egg cups and more!
- Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
