Table of Contents

Ingredients Needed

1 (4 to 6 pound) spiral cut, boneless ham.
1½ cups peach preserves (jam not jelly…you want the bits of fruit in jam)
½ cup light brown sugar, packed.
1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie spice seasoning

Ingredients for Peach Glazed Slow Cooker Ham. Ham, jam, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice mix.

Preparing Spiral Cut Ham

Place the ham large side down in your slow cooker. I line my crock pot with a slow-cooker liner, but you do not have to. It makes for an easier clean-up with a liner.

This was a 4 lb. spiral cut boneless ham. It wasn’t a fancy brand, it was just what they had at Wally World the day I was shopping. (That is code for “The price was right!” Can ya feel me?) You can use a bone in ham, I just recommend removing the spiral cut ham from the bone before cooking.

TIP: If your ham is touching the sides of the crock pot, wad up a piece of foil and place it between the ham and the side of the crock pot.

Ham placed inside the crock of the slow cooker lined with a crock pot liner. Large side down.

Sprinkle the ham with ½ cup of light brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.

TIP: Why do I use Pumpkin Pie spice? Because it contains all the flavors we want in this delicious glaze. Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice…and more!

Ham with brown sugar sprinkled over it and the pumpkin pie spice, in the slow cooker.

Time to take that yummy peach jam you canned at the end of last summer. What? You didn’t can peach jam last summer. That’s fine…you just need one cup of any brand of Peach Jam. Reserve the other ½ cup for later.

TIP: You can use a healthier “Fruit Spread” if you are watching your sugar intake. I happened to have canned peach jam on hand. (I know… I was impressed with myself too! Trust me, it rarely happens!)

Peach jam spooned over the top of the spiral cut ham in the crock pot.

That is it ladies and gentlemen! Seriously…that is it! Put the lid over the top and set the temp to low.

Cooking Ham in the Slow Cooker

Cook on low for 2–4 hours. It will depend on how hot your slow cooker actually cooks and the size of your ham. My four-pound ham took 2.5 hours. A 6-pound ham could take up to 4 hours.

TIP: The MOST important thing when preparing a ham is that most hams sold today have already been smoked and cured. Meaning they are pre-cooked! You are simply warming them. You do not want to have dry ham that resembles “ham jerky”! (Not good friends!)

OVEN Baking Tip: You can bake in the oven at 200°(F) for the same amount of time.

Bonus in making this recipe? Every time someone comes home, they say “What are you cooking? “The house smells amazing!” That is what every Mom loves to hear! It’s so much more pleasant than “Oh YUCK, we’re having that again! Guess I’m not eating dinner!” (Me: Guess you’re lucky to be breathing!)

Serving Suggestions

Carefully remove the ham from the slow cooker and place it on a serving platter.

Take the reserved ½ cup of the peach preserves and mix it with ¼ cup of the juices in the bottom of your slow cooker. Mix to combine. Spoon the glaze over the top of the ham.

I like to garnish with small bunches of fresh parsley, and if in season, slices of fresh peaches!
