Notes
Additional Tips:
- Be sure to buy a fully cooked spiral ham for the easiest prep of the recipe.
- If your ham doesn't fit in your slow cooker, no worries, just trim off a section on the bottom so it can fit easily. We use a 6 to 8-quart slow cooker to ensure that the ham fits.
- To make clean-up quick and easy, fit the slow cooker with a liner.
- Add some orange slices or pineapple rings on the bottom of the crockpot for a flavor twist.
- If you have ham leftover, you're in luck! It's delicious on sandwiches, soups, breakfast casseroles, and even fried rice.
- Broil the ham to finish for a professional touch. Just a couple of minutes is enough.
- A spiral-sliced ham is best as it will glaze beautifully. If you are using an unsliced ham, score the surface lightly before adding the glaze to help it soak in. Storing Tips:
- Store any leftover ham in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat in the microwave or in the oven with a splash of water or stock to warm through for a few minutes.
- Freeze slices of ham for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat using the same methods as above.
- You can make this crockpot honey glazed ham in advance. Set aside extra glaze so you can glaze again as it reheats and right before serving.
