Easter Crock Pot Ham
This flavorful and tender Crock Pot ham is perfect for your Easter celebration. The slow cooking allows the ham to soak up the sweet and tangy glaze, making it a delightful centerpiece for your holiday gathering.
Equipment
- 1 Crock Pot
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 basting brush
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 6-8 lbs fully cooked ham
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup honey
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until you have a smooth mixture.
- Place the fully cooked ham in the Crock Pot, fat side up.
- Pour half of the glaze over the ham, using a basting brush to spread it evenly.
- Cover the Crock Pot and cook on low for 6 hours, basting the ham with the remaining glaze about halfway through the cooking time.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the ham from the Crock Pot and let it rest for about 15 minutes before carving.
- Slice the ham and serve with the delicious glaze drizzled on top.
- For a more caramelized finish, place the sliced ham under the broiler for a few minutes after cooking.
Notes
For a more caramelized finish, you can place the sliced ham under the broiler for a few minutes after it has been cooked in the Crock Pot. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for later use. Pair this ham with sides like mashed potatoes, green beans, or a fresh salad for a complete Easter meal.
