Slow Cooker Spiral Ham

9/24/17

Slow Cooker Spiral ham with pineapples & cherries. My all time favorite ham recipe made easy in the Crock-Pot!

Slow cooker spiral ham cooked in the crock pot, with pineapple chunks and sweet maraschino cherries.

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.Delicious and flavorful, slow cooker spiral ham with pineapple and cherries

How to Make Slow Cooker Spiral Ham for the Holidays

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 cooker spiral ham consists 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 poured 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.

    Hi 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?

      Hi Yvette! The bags used in the slow cooker are slow cooker liners.

        Do you need liner or is it for easy clean up

    Can you make this without the cherries? If so do you need to change the recipe at all?

    Can 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.

    Hi 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.

    I just wanted to stop by and say Thank you. I will never cook my ham in the oven again. The uam in the crockpot is juicier than the oven. I also use the recipe you have given on this page.

    Hey cousin! I don’t have a crockpot so I’m wondering what would be the oven temp and time? And covered or uncovered? Thank you!

      You can cook it in the oven on 325 F, for about and hour.

    Can I prep this all in the crockpot the night prior? Or will it ruin the glaze?
