Crock Pot Garlic Honey Mustard Ham Ingredients

This ham was harder to thaw out than to make. You need four ingredients, a blender, and a crock pot to make this ham.

Garlic, Honey, Dijon Mustard, Worcestershire Sauce

Crock Pot Garlic Honey Mustard Ham is an easy savory ham recipe for a perfect Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter ham. Here is the list of ingredients you need to make this crock pot ham recipe:

Mustard - Dijon mustard works perfectly for this recipe to make a delicate honey mustard sauce. If you only have traditional yellow mustard, it will work. You will just have a bit more twang than with dijon mustard.
Honey - Any liquid honey will work. If you can just buy a 16-ounce bottle, that will work to just pour without measuring.
Garlic - Minced-up garlic cloves will be the best option from this ham recipe. If you have jarred minced garlic, that will work as well.
Worcestershire sauce - There is no substitute for this ingredient. Just use it. WE all have this on hand in our fridge, right?
Whole Ham - This recipe is for a 9+ pound ham. I use spiral cut hams most of the time, but a whole unsliced ham will work as well.

How to Cook Spiral Cut Ham in the Crock Pot?

To make this easy slow cooker ham recipe, start by making the honey mustard sauce in your blend. Pour a cup of Dijon Mustard, two cups of honey, ⅓ cup Worcestershire sauce, and three cloves of garlic into a blender. Puree the mixture till all of the ingredients are combined.

Then pour about half of a cup of the honey mustard sauce into the bottom of your crock pot.

And here comes the tricky part. I have a big crock pot...a 7-Quart Slow Cooker. But, I still could not get my ham in the crock pot with the large flat side down and put the lid on it.

So, I had to put the big 'ole ham on its side. And then poured another cup and a half over top of the ham.

Cook on low for 3-4 hours and then pour the remaining honey mustard over the ham. Cook for another hour till completely warm. Remove from the crock pot and slice the ham.
