Slow Cooker Ham With Honey And Bourbon
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read our full disclosure policy.
This Slow Cooker Ham With Honey And Bourbon is the perfect way to twist the flavor of a Slow Cooker Ham. I love to use my slow cooker during the holidays; it’s a great way to keep the oven open for other sides and dishes. Even at Thanksgiving, we serve ham and turkey every year, so it works out perfectly since the turkey is in the oven.
I love to cook ham and when ham goes on sale for the holidays I always buy a couple of extras and freeze them for big dinners later in the year! You can’t beat the price per pound around the holidays. The leftovers also make amazing soups as well!Â
Slow Cooker Honey And Bourbon Ham Ingredients:
- Bone-In Cooked Ham– I use a bone in ham when I make this. My mom has done a spiral ham, but it tends to be harder to remove from the crockpot.
- Apple Cider Vinegar
- Brown Sugar
- Kentucky Bourbon– I personally used Jim Bean but you can use any Bourbon.
- Honey
- Dijon-style Mustard

How To Make Slow Cooker Honey And Bourbon Ham:
Now I got lucky to find a 10 Quart Slow Cooker on clearance at Walmart, but Amazon has them too. I have to say I love that I can make big meals like this Slow Cooker Ham or a huge batch of soup to share with others or freeze up the leftovers.
Spray the inside of your crockpot with a nonstick spray.Â
In a bowl mix together everything but the ham together to create the glaze for the ham.
Place your ham in the crockpot and turn the crockpot to low.
Slowly pour your glaze over the ham in the crockpot.
Cover the ham and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours! I set a timer for every hour to use a turkey baster to cover ham with the glaze as it is cooking in the crockpot.
Now I have yet to find a crockpot that can fully fit a ham. I always put the lid on and then wrap it in tin foil to make a seal to cook with.
Serve and enjoy!!! How do you cook your ham for the holidays?
How To Store Leftover Ham
Remove your ham from the bone and trim any excess fat. Cut the leftover ham pieces and store them in an air-tight container or a zip-lock bag. You can keep the bone for use in leftover ham recipes or just toss the bone.
Ham can be stored in the fridge for up to five days or frozen for up to 3 months.
A ham bone can not be given to dogs; it is unsafe for dogs to chew on it as it will break and harm their digestive system.
Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The airtight container or a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.
What To Serve With Ham:
Main Dishes: Oven Roasted Turkey, Smoked Turkey, Smoked Brisket, Smoked Prime Rib,
Bread: Cheesy Garlic Pull Apart Bread, Garlic Parmesan Biscuit Pull Apart Bread, English Muffin Garlic Cheese Bread, Easy Cheesy Monkey Bread, Corn Bread
Side Dishes: Air Fryer Bacon Asparagus, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes, Air Fryer Brussell Sprouts, Green Beans, Caesar Salad, Honey Carrots, Acorn Squash, Green Salad, Mashed Sweet Potatoes, Air Fryer Broccoli, Grilled Zucchini, Grilled Corn On The Cob, Air Fryer Zucchini Chips, Macaroni And Cheese, Broccoli Salad, Cole Slaw

Had a small ham that needed help. Only used half of what was called for and lemon instead of vinegar (sounded better everything else exact). Tasted delicious even before baking in crock pot. Can’t wait to eat this one
Small ham cut ingredients in half. Used lemon instead of vinegar because it sounded better. Can’t wait to eat this one. What I tasted of the sauce was delicious even before cooking. Have no doubt this is a winner snd will now be my “go to”.
Yum. I beet this ham tastes deliciously. I’ll have to give it a try.
That looks delicious!
