Slow Cooker Spiral ham with pineapples & cherries. My all time favorite ham recipe made easy in the Crock-Pot!
The holidays are creeping up, which means you all are gonna need an amazing ham recipe. Sure, I shared my baked glazed ham recipe last year, but this time I want to share a slow cooker ham recipe. This ham recipe will be extremely similar to my other ham, because we will be using pineapple, cherries, brown sugar & etc. However, there are less steps because we’re just gonna toss all the ingredients in the slow cooker.
For this recipe I will use a spiral ham, but make no mistake- you can use any ham that you’d like to use, just make sure that it’s fully cooked!
Most hams come with a glaze mix. However I don’t use it, because I like to make my own glaze. My simple glaze for my slow cooer spiral ham consist of brown sugar, honey, mustard, and pineapple juice( or the syrup from the canned pineapples!). I simply combine the ingredients in a large bowl, then I mix everything until it’s well combined. The glaze is then pour over the ham along with pineapples and cherries. Then I cook the ham in my Crock-Pot on LOW for no longer than 3 hours. Anything longer than three hours WILL dry out the ham.
I usually buy a 8-10 pound spiral ham, and I use the slow cooker below.

September 25, 2017 at 6:13 amHi Rosie, In a few of the recipes, it seems as if the ingrdients are in a cooker bag inside the crock pot, is that true?
Rosie says
September 25, 2017 at 11:39 amHi Yvette! The bags used in the slow cooker are slow cooker liners.

Carmen Pirtle says
November 20, 2018 at 7:16 amCan you make this without the cherries? If so do you need to change the recipe at all?
Rosie says
November 20, 2018 at 5:41 pmYes you can.
Jasmin says
November 22, 2018 at 7:54 amCan the same ingredients be used if I put the ham in the oven instead of the crock pot? My ham is too big for the crockpot. Or not sure if I can just cut up the ham and put it in the crock pot using the same glaze.
Rosie says
November 22, 2018 at 7:54 amAbsolutely! Happy holidays!
Kierra says
November 27, 2018 at 5:57 amDoes it matter whether you use light or dark brown sugar ??

November 29, 2018 at 5:53 amHi Rosie, you don’t know it but you were at our Thanksgiving feast. We used all of your recipes for our meal. They all were a hit, but the ham was the guest of honor. Over the years we have had some dry hams. Not this year! It was so juicy and delicious. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes for non-cooks like me that can follow a recipe. My family thought I hired a chef, lol.
