Slow Cooker Peach Glazed Ham
A sweet and tangy ham recipe made effortlessly in the slow cooker, perfect for special occasions or easy family dinners.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 each fully cooked ham, about 6 to 8 pounds Spiral sliced is easiest.
- 1 cup peach preserves or peach jam
- 1 can sliced peaches, drained Save a couple spoonfuls of juice if you want a thinner glaze.
- 2-3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Optional, but balances sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1-2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Spray your slow cooker lightly or line it for easy cleanup.
- Place the ham in the slow cooker, cut side down if it has a flat side.
- In a bowl, stir together peach preserves, brown sugar, Dijon, garlic powder, vinegar or lemon juice, and a pinch of pepper. If it feels super thick, add a spoonful or two of peach juice from the can.
- Spoon about half the glaze over the ham, allowing it to drip into the slices and scatter a few peach slices around.
Cooking
- Cover and cook on LOW for about 3 to 4 hours, aiming for about 140 F in the thickest part.
- During the last 30 minutes, spoon the rest of the glaze over the top. Baste once or twice more for extra gloss, if desired.
- Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container with some glaze or cooking juices. Refrigerate within 2 hours and use within 3 to 4 days for best taste. You can freeze it tightly wrapped for best quality within 2 months.
