Place the ham in the basin of a slow cooker.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cola, and mustard over high heat. Bring to a boil and make sure the sugar has dissolved. Pour the mixture over the ham. If your ham is pre-sliced make sure some of the glaze goes in between the slices.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours, basting with the cooking juices every few hours.
Remove ham from slow cooker and let cool a bit until it can be handled. Slice the ham and serve.
If not serving immediately, preheat the broiler and transfer the ham to a oven-safe baking dish. Brush with some of the leftover liquid and broil for about 5 minutes, glazing with additional liquid as preferred.
- Nutrition information based on 5 lb ham.
- Use the Dijon. Do not omit the mustard in the glaze. It helps to emulsify the glaze as well as add flavor. Basically, it binds the mixture together.
- Baste the ham. For the juiciest and most flavorful ham, do not forget to baste it every couple of hours. The more you baste the more it’s infused with flavor.
- Make sure it fits. Take into consideration the size of your crock pot before buying a ham to make this recipe. That way you don’t have to hack off parts of the ham to make it fit.
- Store the ham in an airtight container in the fridge and it will last for 3-5 days. You can also freeze it for 3-4 months. You can reheat it in the microwave, in your crockpot, or covered over medium heat on the stove. Save that glaze and reheat your ham with it!
