Slow Cooker Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze
I look forward to pulling out my Easter Dinner Recipes and putting together my Easter Dinner Menu every year. It’s one of my favorite holidays and one of my favorite meals to prepare!
The ham, the potatoes, the vegetables, the desserts…it’s all so good! Ham is always the star of the show so my mouth literally starts watering once I’m within a couple weeks of Easter.
We go to church on Easter Sunday, so I like to pick up a ham at the grocery store and put our ham in the crockpot before we leave so that it’s ready when we get home. This is probably one of the easiest ways to cook up ham for Easter.
INGREDIENTS
Here’s what you need to make this Brown Sugar Glazed Ham –
- Boneless Smoked Ham – Choose your favorite type of ham. I love Boar’s Head but any type of smoked ham will work.
- Maple Syrup – If you can find local syrup, it’s fun to have that as part of the recipe!
- Brown Sugar – Mix well as this is why gives it the glaze.
- Honey Dijon Mustard – A little bit of sweet and salty is always good.

FAQ
WHAT SIDE DISHES GO WELL WITH HAM?
While the ham is certain to be the star of the show, side dishes are always a good idea. Some of my favorite dishes to pair with ham are:
- Easy Cheesy Potatoes
- Classic Sweet Potato Casserole
- Cranberry Sauce
- Cheesy Mushroom and Onion Green Bean Casserole
- Roasted Brussel Sprouts
And make certain that you don’t forget about dessert. These Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting are amazing!
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COOK HAM IN THE CROCKPOT?
For a ham that is already cooked and smoked, you’re going to want to cook it on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours. (Just be certain to buy a ham that actually fits in your slow cooker!)
TIPS FOR USING LEFTOVER HAM
Don’t forget that leftover ham is the best for making ham sandwiches! Just make homemade rolls and pile high with ham!
You can also freeze ham for later as well.
