Crock-Pot Recipe Challenge Day 8: Brown Sugar Ham
December 8, 2013
I know many of you have been commenting saying you haven’t thought about cooking certain things in the slow cooker and I bet a ham is one on the list as well. Why not cook a ham in the slow cooker though, it already takes awhile to bake in the oven so why not free up your time? The other good thing about this is, if you are doing a holiday dinner or planning for a special dinner for guests, you’ll have other dishes to cook. The slow cooker will free up the oven for those other dinner dishes and if that doesn’t get you, the best part is – the ham always comes out super moist!
Ingredients
5-6lbs smoked ham (depending on your size of a ham make sure you get one that fits)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 stick of butter melted
1/4 cup water
Directions
Mix the brown sugar, ground mustard, butter and water together.Place ham into the crock-pot with it’s butt side up ( flat part placed down in cooker) Pour mixture over the ham. Cover and cook for 6-7 hours on low.
You can use a spiraled ham ( one that’s already sliced) Just make sure you face it down in the cooker, this will cut down on the chances that the side dry out while cooking.

This looks super yummy and moist! My husband is a big fan of honey ham.. I will try it out and see what he thinks! We might do this for our Christmas dinner!

I made one of these last year and it was delicious. It is hard to find a ham small enough to fit though, and I have a big crock pot.

Oh wow, I am totally envisioning a bite of slow-cooked ham. I'm going to try that and I'm having ham for Christmas dinner for sure.

oh my goodness! My husband would so love this. I keep saying I need to invest in a crockpot especially after seeing all your delicious recipes. That is a Christmas gift I'm asking for. 🙂

I don't eat ham, so I never make it. My family likes it though, and I might be willing to make it for them if I can toss it into a slow cooker and go. Thanks!

We love ham in our house, never thought to make it in a crock pot. This could seriously cause issues here, I would make it more often and never fit in my clothes. Your stroganoff was amazing by the way.

That ham looks amazing. I make hams fairly regularly and I have no idea why I never thought to make it in my crock pot before? I bet it's so tender and delicious.

I can't believe how juicy and delicious this ham looks. I never realized that you could prepare ham this way in the crock pot but I will definitely be trying this at home.
