Crockpot Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze
This Crockpot Ham with Brown Sugar Glaze is the easiest way to serve a juicy, tender holiday ham without giving up your oven. A fully cooked spiral ham goes into the slow cooker with a sweet brown sugar, honey, and pineapple glaze, then cooks low and slow for about 4 hours. A quick reduction and a few minutes under the broiler give it that glossy, caramelized finish everyone fights over!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup pineapple juice
- 2 tbsp runny honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- ⅛ tsp ground cloves
- 4 lb cooked spiral cut ham
Instructions
- Combine the brown sugar, pineapple juice, runny honey, Dijon mustard and cloves in a small bowl, whisking until smooth.
- Place the ham in the slow cooker and pour over the glaze. Cook for 4 hours on low.
- Remove the ham from the slow cooker, and transfer the sauce in the bottom to a small saucepan. Skip this step if you have a sear-and-stew model. Simmer the sauce until it has reduced by about half, and turned syrupy. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer the ham, cut-side up to an oven proof dish and brush with the reduced glaze. Broil for 5-6 minutes on high until glossy and slightly caramelized.
Notes
Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. It tastes sweeter as the glaze soaks in.
Freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze for 1 to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
Reheat: Warm slices in a covered skillet with a splash of water or glaze, or covered in a 325°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
