What Size Ham Should I Use?

This recipe is for an 8-12 pound spiral sliced bone-in ham. A 12-pound ham can feed up to 20 people, depending on portion size, or if you feed fewer people but want leftovers. If you need to feed 6-8 people, go with a smaller 6-pound ham. Go with an 8-pound ham to feed 10-12 people.

What Size Slow Cooker Do I Need?

This recipe is for an 8-12 pound spiral sliced bone-in ham so you’ll need an 8 or 10 quart slow cooker, depending on the ham you’re cooking. You want to make sure the lid will fit on, tightly.

Can I Use A Boneless Ham?

Yes, but you’ll need to adjust the cooking time. A boneless ham takes less time to cook than bone-in. Most of the store-bought hams are pre-cooked, and you’re just heating them all the way through. Check on the packaging to make sure you’re purchasing pre-cooked. Boneless hams require less cooking time, so check three-quarters of the way through the cooking time and using a meat thermometer, see if the center and inner meat have achieved a temperature reading of at least 140 degrees F. If not, keep slow cooking until that temperature is reached.

Sauce Variations

• Sauce: Swap out the peach preserves for another fruity flavor such as orange preserves, apricot preserves, or even pineapple preserves.
• Spice Level: You can control the amount of heat in the honey and peach preserve sauce by using a smaller amount of red pepper flakes or omitting them altogether!
