KerryFrequently Asked Questions: What if I have a larger ham? For this recipe you will want to use a 3-5 pound boneless ham. Hams that you purchase at nearly all grocery stores are precooked (either cured or smoked) so that is what you want to look for. Do not purchase a fresh (uncooked) ham. Also, if yours is slightly larger or slightly smaller, this will still work. The main thing to consider is the size of the slow cooker you have and to make sure the ham fits. You can always double the glaze it you want. Also, you may need to adjust cooking time for a larger one. Keep in mind, I tested this recipe using the ham size given in the recipe card below. If you are using one larger or smaller, you will have to adjust the time and play it by ear as I cannot give you instructions since I have not tested this with other sizes. What is the portion size per person supposed to be? Generally the rule of thumb is to portion out about 1/2 pound of ham per person. What should the internal temperature of my ham be? When your ham is done cooking and has rested, the internal temperature should be 140 degrees F. You can check this at the thickest portion with a kitchen thermometer. Can I add any other spices to the glaze? If you want a more holiday flavor to the glaze, you can add a pinch of some cinnamon, clove or nutmeg. If you want to give it a little more kick you can add 1/4 teaspoon of chipotle powder, a pinch of cayenne or 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes. How long does this need to cook? It takes about 3-4 hours on low or until the internal temperature of 140 degrees F is reached. It is not recommended to cook this on high. Can I use a pre-sliced ham? Yes. Just make sure it is about the same size. Can I substitute regular vinegar for the apple cider vinegar? Yes. However, I think you really lose some of the depth of flavor when you substitute. How do I store leftovers? This ham can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container where it will keep for up to 4 days. It can also be frozen. Place ham in a freezer-safe container or bag and it will keep for up to 3 months. To defrost, place in the refrigerator overnight. To reheat, you can place the ham back in the slow cooker, the oven or the microwave until heated through.

I cannot give you guidance on any other type or size of ham.light brown sugar this gives just enough sweetness that you want in a ham without being crazy sweet. honey this helps give it that glaze consistency were looking for. I suppose you could use maple syrup but I havent personally tested it.dijon mustard I know people think mustard is so strange but it really does work with ham. I am using dijon mustard here since it is not quite so vinegary. It really does work. Even people that dont love mustard really enjoy it when I serve this recipe and mention they never tasted the mustard.apple cider vinegar you could technically use regular vinegar but apple cider vinegar just gives it that little extra something.garlic powder, onion powder and pepper I didnt want to go crazy strong on seasonings here. I think we still want that smoky ham flavor to come through but obviously, if you want to go ham (ha!) on the seasonings, dont let me stop you!How To Make Crock Pot Ham: Spray the inside of a 5-6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray.Place the ham into the slow cooker.In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper.Pour the sauce over the ham.
