Slow Cooker Maple Brown Sugar Ham
An amazing ham made in a crock pot
- 7-10 pound bone-in spiral sliced ham keep in mind size of your crockpot
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup water-Original recipe calls for 2 cups pineapple juice but I don't use it and it is amazing!
- 2 Tbsp of deli brown mustard or dijon--I love the flavor this adds.
Use a 6-7 quart crockpot. Unwrap ham, discard glaze packet, and place ham flat side down in slow cooker.
Rub brown sugar and mustard all over ham.Pour maple syrup over ham and pour water (or pineapple juice) in the bottom.
Cover tightly and cook on low 4-5 hours, basting once or twice during the last hour.
If desired, remove from crockpot and let rest for 10-20 min before serving (I often just serve it right out of the crockpot)
Reserve the juices to make gravy if you want
I have done a ham that is not spiral sliced before and it does work- you may have to increase the time to 6-8 hours to heat completely through
