Equipment

1 6-quart crock pot

Ingredients

▢ 1 (12-ounce) can cola (I used Coke but any brand will do, as well as sugar free)
▢ 1 (3 to 4-pound) spiral sliced ham
▢ 2 tablespoons bourbon
▢ ½ cup brown sugar
▢ 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Crock Pot Ham

Spray slow cooker with nonstick spray. Remove ham from packaging and place sliced side down in the pot. If your ham comes with a glaze packet, you can toss it. Pour cola and 1 tablespoon bourbon over the top of the ham.
Cover and turn the crockpot to low. Cook until the ham's temperature reaches 140 degrees. This will take approximately 20 to 25 minutes per pound. Check temperature after 1-½ hours.
Once that ham is heated, remove it from slow cooker, tent with foil and let rest. Reserve 1 cup of juices from the crockpot for the glaze.

Brown Sugar Bourbon Glaze

In a saucepan or skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup of the juices from the slow cooker, 1 tablespoon bourbon, and brown sugar.
Bring the glaze to a gentle rolling boil over medium-high. Frequently stir with a whisk until the liquid is reduced by half and is slightly thickened. Let the mixture cool.
Using a brush or spoon, brush the glaze evenly all over the outside and between the slices of the cooked ham.

NOTES: The brown sugar and butter can easily burn in the glaze if boiled at too high of a temperature. Simmer over medium to medium-high and stir frequently.
VARIATIONS: A bone-in ham may be used, but make sure it fits in your crock pot and serves between 6 and 8 people.
