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.

You can easily make this for any holiday meal – and should! What I love about this slow cooker ham recipe is that it’s the easiest way to cook a large ham with just a few simple ingredients.

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. You can use a small ham or a large ham or any kind of ham that you’d like.
Maple Syrup – If you can find local syrup, it’s fun to have that as part of the recipe! This is what gives that delicious ham glaze!
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.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST CROCKPOT HAM

STEP 1: PLACE IN SLOW COOKER

STEP 2: MAKE THE GLAZE

Mix the brown sugar, maple syrup, and dijon mustard to make the glaze. Pour over the top.

STEP 3: COOK

Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.

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! Or use it to make Ham Tetrazzini!

You can also freeze ham for later as well.

Hi Kasey and thank you for this recipe! I want to make it for Christmas and can’t seem to find where to buy Boar’s Head sweet slice ham in the Cleveland, OH area. Any site to check this out?
