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
Ham
7-8lbham
1/4cuporange juice
Glaze
4tablespoonsbuttersoftened
1/3cupbrown sugar
1/8teaspooncinnamon
1/8teaspoonallspice
1teaspoondijon 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!
