If you love honey glazed ham, you’re going to love this slow cooker version. This is hands-down my absolute favorite way to prepare ham.
It’s so easy to remove the lid of the slow cooker for basting, and the ham always stays moist. Not to mention, cooking the main dish–especially for a holiday meal–in the slow cooker frees up all that space in the oven.
I made this for guests who proclaimed, “That’s the best ham I’ve ever had!”
I keep the glaze warm on the stove top during cooking, and baste my ham every 30 minutes or so. You may have to adjust the cooking time based on the size of your ham, but really, you can do this with almost any pre-cooked ham.
Just make sure you have a ham that will fit in your slow cooker. If not, you can prepare your ham the traditional way, in the oven.
Just follow the same instructions for basting as outlined in the recipe.
