Slow Cooker Ham with Coke and Apricot Mustard Glaze
Slow Cooker Ham with Coke and Apricot Mustard Glaze is an easy, hands-off way to get a juicy, flavorful ham without turning on the oven. A fully cooked ham simmers gently in cola while a simple glaze made with apricot preserves, whole grain mustard, and brown sugar melts into the slices. It’s a low-effort main dish that works just as well for a holiday table as it does for a Sunday supper with leftovers to spare.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 7 lb ham, fully cooked, spiral cut
- ½ cup Coca Cola
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup apricot preserves
- ¼ cup whole-grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- If the ham is not spiral cut, slice it, not cutting all the way through. Place ham in a slow cooker and pour the Coke over it.
- In a saucepan, combine the brown sugar, jam, mustard and vinegar and bring to a simmer. Cook until it starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of the sauce and brush the rest on the ham, brushing sauce into the slices.
- Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 5-6 until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 145º. Transfer to a serving platter and brush with remaining sauce.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- I prefer a spiral cut ham to save on time, but that won't affect the flavor or texture.
- You can use peach jam instead of apricot.
