Ingredients
- 8-9 pound fully cooked spiral sliced bone-in ham weight is approximate
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup pineapple juice
For the brown sugar mixture:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- Dash of ground ginger
- Dash of onion powder
Instructions
- Place the spiral cut ham in the bottom of the slow cooker. (It's ok if the lid doesn't fit on. There's a trick for that!) Pour orange juice and pineapple juice overtop the ham. 8-9 pound fully cooked spiral sliced bone-in ham, 1 cup orange juice, 1 cup pineapple juice
- In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar and spices. 1 cup brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon paprika, Dash of ground ginger, Dash of onion powder
- Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the brown sugar around the ham, into the juices. Then press the rest of the brown sugar mix onto the top of the ham. Separate the slices lightly so that the sugar mixture gets down in between.
- If the lid doesn't fit, cover the top of the slow cooker with aluminum foil. Set to low heat and cook for 4-5 hours.
- Baste the ham with the juices once or twice during cooking if desired. When the ham is heated through (140ºF), baste with juices, then serve.
Notes
Your slow cooker ham should reach an internal temperature of 140°F (for a fully cooked ham) to ensure it’s safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature at the thickest part of the ham, avoiding the bone.
To keep your leftover ham as fresh and delicious as the day it was cooked, proper storage is key. Once the ham has cooled to room temperature, use a sharp knife to slice any leftovers into manageable pieces. Wrap the slices tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bags.
Refrigerated, your ham will stay good for 3 to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the ham slices for up to 2 months.
