Slow Cooker Ham

This Slow Cooker Ham recipe has a delicious glaze of brown sugar and maple syrup.  It is not only perfect for Easter dinner or brunch, but it makes amazing leftovers too.

Slow Cooker Ham

 

Slow Cooker Maple and Brown Sugar Ham is the perfect addition to Easter dinner or brunch.  Easter just isn’t Easter without ham, at least at our house.  The best part about cooking your ham in the crock pot is that it frees up your oven for all the sides.  This recipe for slow cooker ham comes from my Holiday Slow Cooker Cookbook and is part of the Easter section.

In addition to this recipe there are 9 other recipes that are perfect for your Easter celebration.  Some of my favorites include the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes, Lemon and Blueberry Glazed Coffee Cake and Browned Butter Balsamic Carrots.

The best part of this slow cooker ham is the sauce that forms during the cooking process.  You are going to want to drink it but be sure and save some to spoon over the sliced ham when you serve it.  It is so yummy!

Another great thing about this ham for Easter though is the leftovers!  In my cookbook I have a recipe  for Ham, Lentil and Vegetable Soup which is a perfect way to use the leftover ham.  You can also find a lot more ideas in this Leftover Ham Roundup I did a few years ago.  So many possibilities.  In fact, don’t wait until Easter to make this ham!  I often make it just so I have ham leftovers.

I have 100 slow cooker recipes in my Holiday Slow Cooker Cookbook.  Not only are they perfect during the holidays but they will become your weekday, every day favorites too!  You can check out all the details on the cookbook here.

Other favorite Easter recipes:

  • Lemon Angel Pie
  • Orange Rolls
  • Fresno Potatoes

My favorite kitchen items I used to make these SLOW COOKER MAPLE AND BROWN SUGAR HAM:

SLOW COOKER – My favorite one is the classic, the Rival CrockPot.  In fact, I love it so much I own three of them. Two 6 qt and one 4 qt.

CROCK POT LINER BAGS – These liner bags are a life saver and make clean up so much easier and faster!  Stock up on them!

    I’m so excited to cook this for Easter and free up the oven! Have you ever used the instapot as a slow cooker? Does the regular crockpot/slow cooker do a better job?
    Thank you

      I have only done it in the crock pot, never in the instant pot, I know there are recipes out there for ham in the Instant Pot.

    This recipe looks truly amazing. I will definitely try it on our Autumn Easter Day table Down Under in Queensland Australia. Thanks for sharing

    This sounds so delicious. I love the idea of using Oranges instead of the Pineapple rings. I wonder in you would advise me…. (1) can I do a 9 pound ham with same directions. (2) anyway to make ahead, slice then latter put it back in crock pot and re-warm? (3) the meat store sells whole hams called either butt or shank…what kind do you prefer? Can you tell I’m inexperienced with big hams. Thanks for helping a beginner.

      You can do as big of a ham as will fit in your crock pot. The ham is already precooked so all you are doing is heating it through (and making the sauce) so there is really no need to make ahead and rewarm. I used a butt but a shank would work too. Enjoy!
