    This recipe was originally part of a series of posts celebrating both Easter and my 5 year blogging anniversary, 4 years ago. I, along with some of my great food blogging friends came up with all kinds of delicious recipes! You can still find the links to those recipes at the bottom of this post. This recipe remains the same. 

    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!

        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!

        Yes! It would be great in omelettes or sandwiches, pretty much anything. Thank you for joining me for #EasterWeek, Becca.
