Ingredients Needed
- Ham – I used a spiral-cut ham for this slow cooker ham recipe. Reach for a ham that fits into the slow cooker. Depending on the size of your slow cooker will depend on the size of ham you can use.
- Honey – To sweeten the ham and create a glaze you will use honey.
- Brown Sugar – A little bit of brown sugar is going to offer the perfect sweetness to compliment the savory out of the ham.
- Pineapple – Pineapple ham is so popular. The sweet juice that is released from the pineapple flavors the ham nicely. Canned pineapple works great.
Variations to Recipe
Here are a few ways to change up the ingredients used in this crockpot ham recipe. I love it just as it is, but feel free to make tweaks to create the perfect recipe for yourself.
- Spread on a layer of Dijon mustard on top of the ham and massage the honey in as well for a little bit of a twist in flavor.
- Sprinkle the ham with a little bit of cayenne pepper or even red pepper flakes for a spicy honey ham.
- Swap out the ham for peach or apricot preserves for a change if flavor. You could even do a cherry preserves or a can of cranberry sauce. All of these would be delicious. I love the cranberry twist.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey, or even agave syrup.
- Swap the pineapple with a bit of apple cider or apple juice instead of pineapple.
- You are welcome to sprinkle on different herbs and spices to flavor the ham differently. It doesn’t have to be a sweet ham. Smoked paprika, garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, etc.
- I used a spiral cut ham but you are welcome to use a different type of ham.
