Honey Glazed Ham - Slow Cooker Recipe
INGREDIENTS
•
5-7 pound bone-in ham
•
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
•
1/4 cup honey
•
1/4 cup butter, melted
•
1 teaspoon gluten free Worcestershire sauce
•
1 tablespoon brown sugar
•
2 teaspoons ground thyme
•
The Directions.
•
Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Unwrap ham, and discard flavor packet. Put ham into slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine vinegar, honey, butter, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, and thyme. Pour mixture evenly over the ham. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours,
•
The Verdict.
•
Oh yum. Slow-cooked ham is so super easy and always comes out fantastic. The meat stays perfectly moist without needing to baste, and tastes wonderful. My family really likes this glaze--it's sweet but not over the top.
•
Now that I can eat pork again, I'm thinking of declaring every Wednesday a holiday just so I can eat ham.
•
maple ham from last year (this is really good, too! I'm having a hard time deciding which I like better. I should make both.)
•
and more crockpot holiday food.
•
Have a wonderful Easter!

Do you have a ham in the fridge you don't know what to do with? Throw it in the crockpot. It'll be delicious.
•
This is a little off-topic, but I feel if you took out "ham" and replaced it with "______" you'd sum up this wonderful blog pretty well!

Stupid question: Is this for already cooked ham, or raw ham?

Can this be done with a boneless or bone-in ham? I never know what kind to buy. The recipe sounds really simple and good.

Hi Sky--I think all ham you buy is already cooked.
•
Kim, absolutely--either will work just fine.

Actually you can buy an uncooked ham. I have to do that since I'm allergic to sulfur and nitrates - which are used in preservatives and some meat cures.
•
And thanks for this recipe. Going to do this instead of the Dr. Pepper ham I've done in the past.

I had never thought of making a ham in the slow cooker. When I saw this recipe...yeah! I had all the ingredients on hand and popped that ole ham right into the crockpot. IT WAS FABULOUS! Thanks a bunch.

I made this for Easter lunch and everyone loved it. I only ran into a couple of problems.
•
1. I bought a 10 lb ham which was not spiral cut (oops).
•
2. The ham didn't fit into my crockpot without some serious coaxing.
•
I solved the problem by slicing 2 inches off the bottom of the ham and placing the larger portion inside. Then I stuffed the "slice" into one of the open pockets on the side. I did add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar just for fun.
•
We ate leftovers for dinner. Then my husband finished off the rest of the leftovers at midnight while everyone else was alseep. Altogether a success!

Well now that everyone has had their ham...
•
what do you do with the leftovers? I'm always in the market for recipes to use up ham, because we usually buy 3 or 4 of them when they go on sale and put them in the freezer.
•
MOST of that gets cut up into small or medium sized cubes which area amazingly useful-throw them on pizza, on baked potatoes, and into all kinds of soup, not to mention breakfast "skillets" with hash browns and eggs.
•
HOWEVER-if anyone has other uses for ham leftovers (ham hash?) I'd love to hear it!

Thank you so much for this recipe! I made it yesterday and it went over very well with my family - a very nice taste without being too sweet or savory. I'll be using the ham bone and some of the meat for pea soup tomorrow.

I have been making hams in my crock pot for years as it is always super good! One thing we like in ours is pineapple chunks and orange marmalade. I didn't read through all the comments (my bad) so someone else might have said this also.

We did a ham in the crock pot this year. First time ever to buy a ham that had to be cooked 4 hours. Usually it was the heat and eat kind. I found a good deal and had my hubby cook it cuz I was gone the day before Easter to a meeting out of town. He

So, I was making Easter dinner for whole family - including the in-laws - for the first time EVER. Came across this recipe and thought "Awesome! I can do the ham in the slowcooker and save the oven for the turkey!" - yes, we do both!
•
Traditionally, our families do the "brown sugar and mustard with pineapples" glaze. But I've been on a kick of trying new things lately, and decided to go with this one.
•
I hesitated slightly when I was mixing the sauce as the vinegar smell was a little over powering, and I didn't have ground thyme so I used dried thyme (the twigs, not the power).
•
I popped the ham in the slowcooker and poured the sauce over it. About half way through, I start to panic. I think it was the smell of the thyme cooking that got me. All I could think was "This is not the same traditional ham. I don't know if the fam
•
Ok, I'll admit - a little over the top, but hey, I was cooking for the in-laws after all!
•
Well, I just had to report that this ham was WONDERFUL. The thyme put a lovely hint of flavor on the ham that I really enjoyed. Yes, it was different, but it was delicious! A definate keeper of a recipe!
•
Thanks Stephanie - this blog is such an inspiration to me. I'm a working mom of two kids (ages 4 and 2), and the slowcooker makes my life so much easier! And the verdict section is invaluable! Especially on a bad day - you really make me snicker!

You rock!

I am getting a late start to Easter Dinner and was only able to find a hardwood smoked ham (half). Would this work for this kind of recipe? All I have ever done is baked ham, and there were no spiral sliced avaliable!

Question, I have a 3.5 quart crockpot, Should I get a smaller ham and use less ingredients and would that work? Thanks.
