This is the second recipe I made using the 11-pound ham we bought awhile ago. Comparing this to the Cola Ham, this had a more traditional taste, in my opinion. However, Rick liked the cola ham better, saying that the texture in this honey glazed ham was a little off. Personally, I really liked both of them! But if I had to pick one, I’d pick this honey glazed ham, simply because it tasted like what ham is “supposed” to taste like.

Ingredients:
3-4 pounds fully cooked ham (mine was about 2 pounds, but I kept all the other measurements the same)
1 can Sprite, 7-Up, Sierra Mist, etc.
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions:
Place ham and soda into crockpot. Cook on low 6 to 8 hours or 3 to 4 hours on high.

About 30 minutes before serving, combine honey and seasonings and mix with 3 tablespoons liquid from bottom of crockpot. Spread glaze over ham and continue cooking for 30 minutes. Let ham stand for 15 minutes before slicing.

I’m not sure why, but a few weeks ago I got a craving for ham. I was finding so many ham recipes for the crockpot that all sounded so good! Rick and I found a great deal, so we bought an 11-pound ham and sliced it up into approximately 2-pound portions. So expect to see a few more ham recipes on my blog in the future!

This ham turned out great. I was a little worried about the long cook time, because the original recipe called for a 4-pound ham and mine was 2 pounds, tops. But as it turns out, I had nothing to worry about!

Ingredients:
4-pound precooked ham (I used a 2-pound ham, but kept all other ingredients at the same measurements)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. prepared horseradish
1/4 cup cola 

Directions:
Combine sugar, mustard and horseradish. Mix thoroughly. Add just enough cola so that, after stirring, it forms a paste. Rub mixture all over the ham.

Place ham in crockpot, and add the rest of the cola.

Cook on low for 6-10 hours. I cooked mine for 8 hours and it was perfect!
