Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Ham
This recipe for brown sugar ham could not get any easier. I promise!
A spiral sliced ham is glazed with brown sugar and ground cloves and cooked right in your slow cooker which frees up needing to use your oven at the holidays.
This tasty ham is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter or any festive occasion.
And to be honest, my family really likes ham for Sunday dinner too. So when hams go on sale around or after the major holidays I usually buy a few and toss them into my freezer so we can have ham all year-around.
And leftover ham, can be used in so many recipes like Ham & Bean Soup, Ham & Potatoes, Ham & Cheese Quiche, BBQ Ham Sandwiches and so much more!

- In a small bowl combine the brown sugar and ground cloves and stir to mix.
- Spread 1/2 of the brown sugar mixture on the bottom of a 6 quart or larger slow cooker.
- Place ham, cut side down, into slow cooker on top of the brown sugar.
- Rub the remaining brown sugar mixture all over the rest of the ham.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours.
- Turn slow cooker off and let sit for 30 minutes so that the ham can reabsorb some of the juices that will come out when cooked for a moister meat.
- Carefully remove ham from slow cooker and transfer to a serving platter. Cut ham off bone, serve and enjoy!
Spoon the remaining slow cooker ham juices over the ham when serving. Delish!

Do you use a precooked spiral ham
Yes you do Linda.
Does it matter how many pounds?
It does not really matter. You just want a ham that will fit in your slow cooker.
Can you use a whole smoked ham without spiral ?
This recipe hasn’t been tested with a whole ham that’s not spiral cut, but I’m sure you could! Come back and let us know how it turns out! Thanks for stopping by, Frank!
Your website is unreal, in a great way. It is just packed with everything I want as a new single bachelor. I am going to cook in crockpots for the rest of my life. I bought this 12-in-1 crockpot thing from Cosori I am thinking about getting two or three more. (not promoting, but take a look at it) and with your website, I should be able to make anything I want in a crockpot atmosphere. With your website, I can put two or three meals in those crock pots and make meals for a week. thank you keep up the great awesome work. I am thinking about dumping all my 7000 bookmark recipes and just using your website.
Glad to hear you’re enjoying the site!
Ir’s a little more work with a non-spiral ham, bit it’d still good.
Do you put water in this recipe?
No, the juices from the ham will be enough. Enjoy!
