Our Crockpot Spiral Ham is the perfect mix of sweet & salty! This ham is so tender and juicy since it cooks in the crockpot and it’s super easy too! Serve this up at your next holiday dinner for a special treat.
How to Make Spiral Ham:
Prepare: To get started you’ll want to line your crockpot (see tip below) and place the spiral ham inside. Once ready, set the heat to low.
HELPFUL TIP!
Mess free!
I use crockpot liners to keep clean up easy here. There will be honey/sugar in your slow cooker for a few hours and that can cause a bit of a sticky mess, so using the liner is really recommended here.
Honey Glaze: Add butter, honey, and brown sugar to a small sauce pan over low heat and melt it together. Once that sweet glaze is all combined, brush it over the top of the ham liberally. Don’t use it all at first, this recipe makes a lot and you’ll want to reserve some to brush on the ham as it cooks!
Slow Cook: The crockpot brown sugar ham should be heated through and beautifully glazed in about 5 hours for an 8-10 pound ham. It takes a bit more time than you might expect, because opening the lid to glaze the ham does release a fair amount of heat each time. Your ham may cook quicker if you glaze less often.
I like to brush the ham with the glaze about every 30-45 minutes, but this will totally depend on how much glazed flavor you’d like. If you go longer in between, you certainly aren’t going to ruin your ham.
Test the internal temperature with an instant read thermometer. Your fully cooked ham should be heated to 140 degrees before serving.
