Slow Cooker Holiday Ham

Tender, juicy, slow cooked spiral ham with a sweet brown sugar - honey glaze, maraschino cherries and pineapple chunks. A great way to jazz up your shop bought ham

8 - 10 pound spiral ham
1 - 20 can pineapple chunks, in syrup or juice (juice reserved)
1 - small jar maraschino cherries (juice reserved)
2 - tablespoons yellow or Dijon mustard
1/4 - cup honey
1/2 - cup brown sugar

  • Place the spiral ham in slow cooker lined with a cooking bag. 
  • Separate the slices.
  • in a small bowl add the syrup or juice from the pineapple, juice from the cherries, mustard, honey and brown sugar.
  • Mix until well combined.
  • Add the cherries and pineapple chunks over the ham (making sure to get some of them into the slices).
  • Pour the glaze over the ham.
  • Turn the slow cooker on LOW, and cook for 2 1/2 - 3 hours.
  • Do not cook more than 3 hours or you will dry out the ham (if you have a larger ham allow 13 minutes per pound).
  • Baste the ham occasionally with the glaze while cooking.
  • Serve hot, topped with pineapple chunks and cherries (if desired).
