Why Cook Ham in a Crock Pot?

  • Saves Oven Space: Free up your oven for other dishes, especially during holiday gatherings.
  • Effortless Cooking: Just set it and forget it! The slow cooker does all the work.
  • Moist and Tender: Slow cooking ensures a tender, juicy ham every time.

Ingredients You'll Need

  • 1 (5-7 pound) pre-cooked, bone-in or boneless ham
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ham: If your ham is too large, trim it to fit into your crock pot. You can cut the ham in half if needed.
  2. Make the Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and ground cloves until well combined.
  3. Glaze the Ham: Place the ham in the crock pot, flat-side down. Pour the glaze over the ham, ensuring it covers the top and sides.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or until the ham is heated through. The internal temperature should reach 140°F (60°C).
  5. Serve: Carefully remove the ham from the crock pot. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle with extra glaze from the crock pot, if desired.

Tips for the Perfect Crock Pot Ham

  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Ensure the ham is heated through without overcooking.
  • Customize the Glaze: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a hint of spice, or use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Rest Before Slicing: This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender ham.
