This Slow Cooker Honey Ham is perfect for Easter brunch or dinner! It's quick and easy to put together, ready in a few hours, and leaves your oven free for other dishes.
Ingredients needed:
- Fully cooked spiral ham: Make sure you have a slow cooker large enough to hold the ham. Here I used a 10 pound ham, and it was almost too big for my slow cooker.
- chicken stock: store bought is fine
- liquid honey
- maple syrup: I really suggest using real maple syrup here. It's expensive, but worth it!
How to prepare the ham:
Place the ham, unwrapped, in your slow cooker. If the ham comes with a glaze packet, you can either discard it or refrigerate it for use another time.
Combine the chicken stock and maple syrup in a bowl and mix well. Pour the mixture over the ham, followed by the honey.
Cover with the lid and cook on low for 4-5 hours. I haven't tried cooking it on high, but if you want to, I would suggest checking the ham after 2 ½ hours.

Bernadette,
What a great idea to use the slow cooker for ham! During the holidays I'm always making a bunch of sides and never have room in the oven. I never thought to throw the ham in the crock pot, though--that's brilliant.
Thanks!
Bernadette says
Thanks! We have a convection oven in addition to our regular oven, I use that for sides sometimes. The ham in the slow cooker is great!
Becca says
There are lots of slow cooker ham recipes floating around, but this one sounds SO perfect for using in Easter leftovers. The perfect glaze! Thanks for hosting this EasterWeek event, Bernadette!
Bernadette says
Yes! It would be great in omelettes or sandwiches, pretty much anything. Thank you for joining me for #EasterWeek, Becca.
