Equipment

Ingredients

5-8 pound cooked ham bone in
1 can Coca Cola
½ cup brown sugar packed
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

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.

Notes

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!
