The Difference Between Boneless and Bone-In Ham Spiral Ham

It’s very simple to make a boneless spiral ham. With there not being a bone means that there is less cooking time. A spiral-sliced ham means no need to slice up the ham after it’s cooked. This saves so many steps and time. A Crock Pot Spiral Ham is wonderfully easy and very delicious, plus it’s perfect for any occasion. Serve this Crock Pot Spiral Ham for a weeknight meal or use it as a quick and easy addition to any holiday table setting or family potluck. The flavors are delicious for any time of year, making it a winning main course no matter what the occasion is.

What if the spiral ham is too large for my slow cooker?

When cooking a large ham, follow these steps to cook it in your slow cooker.

• You will need two sheets of tin foil that are 12 inches long.
• Tuck the ends all around the edges of the Crock Pot and then gather them together in the middle and fold the ends down.
• You don’t need to completely wrap the ham in foil—just tuck it down the sides of the slow cooker. You will be making a “roof” for your ham.
• To keep the heat in, place a towel over the top of the tin foil tent.

Can This Ham Be Made In The Oven?

Yes! Here are the directions:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Place the boneless spiral ham in a shallow roasting pan or baking dish.
• Measure all of the ingredients.
• In a saucepan over medium heat combine the brown sugar, dijon mustard, and maple syrup or apricot jam.
• Stir until combined.
• Continue stirring over medium heat until the mixture comes to a bubble.
• Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
• Spoon half of the glaze over the ham.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 1 hour.
• Spoon the remaining glaze over the ham and bake another 15 minutes longer until the ham is heated through.

• 1 (4-7 lb) fully cooked boneless spiral ham
