Crockpot Ham - a delicious, easy and no-fuss slow cooker ham recipe that is perfect for Easter, Christmas or any holiday meal! Glaze included!

Prep Ham: Score 7-8 pound ham with sharp paring knife and place cut side down in the slow cooker. Add ¼ cup orange juice to the bottom of the crock pot.
Ham Glaze: In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup brown sugar, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon and ⅛ teaspoon allspice. Stir to combine. Use a basting brush to brush ½ of the brown sugar mixture all over the ham - reserve the remaining glaze for later.
Cook: Cover slow cooker and set to LOW. Let cook until internal temperature reaches 140℉ 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.
Rest: 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.
Serve: Slice and enjoy!

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 Leftover Ham Bone Soup!
Leftover Ham: use leftovers for sandwiches, easy ham and cheese sliders, baked ham and egg cups and more!
Storage: store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
