Ingredients
  

For the Ham
  • 1 each spiral-cut ham bone-in or boneless
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup brown sugar can be swapped with coconut sugar
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup can substitute with honey
  • 1 cup pineapple juice orange juice can be used instead

Equipment

  • 7-quart crock pot

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Crock Pot: Place your large 7-quart crock pot on a stable surface. Remove any packaging from the spiral-cut ham and position it inside the pot with the flat side facing down.
  2. Apply the Brown Sugar: Generously rub the brown sugar over the surface of the ham, ensuring it seeps into the slices for a caramelized crust.
  3. Add the Glaze Ingredients: Pour the pure maple syrup and pineapple juice evenly over the ham, allowing the juices to pool in the bottom.
  4. Cook on Low Heat: Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low for 4 to 5 hours until the ham reaches an internal temperature of about 140°F.
  5. Baste for Extra Flavor: About one hour before serving, lift the lid and baste the ham with the cooking juices to enhance flavor and moisture.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the ham from the crock pot and let it rest for about 5 minutes before carving.
