Crockpot Glazed Ham
Alex loves it when we make a ham in the crockpot so I occasionally make one for him. Typically I do some sort of sweet glaze since that is what traditionally goes with ham. However, I let Alex make this particular glaze and since he’s not huge on sweet ham he opted for a more savory flavor.The finished flavor is actually quite interesting. While it certainly wasn’t something I would have thought to put together it really actually works. Alex absolutely loved the flavor and I thought it wasn’t bad. I still prefer a sweet glazed ham, but this is a great option if you’re in the mood for something a little more savory.By cooking this in the crockpot it really is a set it and forget it type of meal. Just let it cook and marinade in its own glaze for several hours and voila, a fantastic dinner. I love to pair it with my Mac Cheese recipe. They really go perfectly together.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:240]
Alex specially requested that I make a ham for his birthday dinner. I’ve never made a ham before so I decided to try an Old Fashioned style ham. He was very happy with the end result. This is a great recipe for a large gathering or any time you really want to impress guests.This recipe is for a very sweet ham. If you don’t prefer your meat on the sweeter side this probably isn’t the right recipe for you. I personally love sweet ham so I found this to be a great recipe. Alex prefers slightly saltier ham but he still liked this recipe when finished.
Personally, I’ve used a roaster and a cooking bag for this particular recipe. I find using these things get the ham cooked nicely and it doesn’t take up additional space in my oven. If you decide not to use a roaster or don’t happen to have one on hand simply follow the directions on your ham in order to cook and then follow the last few directions here to glaze.[amd-yrecipe-recipe:163]
