Doubling Recipe Tip
If doubling or tripling recipe with buttons below, ingredient notes found after comma will not adjust. Increase ingredients as needed.
Ingredients
- 4.5 lb Boneless Fully Cooked Ham, (make sure size will fit in your Crock Pot)
- 1 cup Pure Maple Syrup
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- 2 tbsp. Dijon Honey Mustard
- 1 tsp. Allspice
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- Remove casing from Ham if it has one.
- Score top of ham by carefully making diagonal cuts on the surface approx. 1 inch apart. (It makes the ham prettier, while allowing the delicious flavors of the sauce to soak in more.)
- Place ham in Crock Pot.
- In small mixing bowl, whisk together Maple Syrup, Brown Sugar, Mustard, and Allspice, until well combined.
- Pour sauce mixture over Ham, and use a basting brush to brush it all over the top and sides. (You’ll see your diamond pattern starting to appear as the sauce soaks in.)
- Cover Crock Pot with lid and cook on HIGH for 2 hours or LOW for 4 hours, or until done. (depending on size of ham) Be sure not to overcook! You want to cook until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees. Note: If your ham is smaller, you'll need to decrease the cook time, and if it's larger, you'll need to increase the cook time accordingly.
- Occasionally scoop up sauce mixture and brush over ham while cooking.
- Once done, slice and ENJOY!
Notes
- Serving Tips: Once your ham is done you can either serve it on a platter. Or you can remove from Crockpot, slice it, and put it back in the Crockpot. Then you can continue to pour juices over the slices. You'll do this while your Crockpot is turned to the LOW or KEEP WARM setting.

This recipe looks great! I was wondering what brand of ham you used.
Hi Pam ~ when it comes to boneless hams, I’m not really brand specific, and have successfully used different brands that have all been delicious. What I mainly look for is a fully cooked boneless ham that says cured or smoked. 🙂
I’ve made this recipe at least 10 times. It is a huge hit even with extended family. And it is a year round favorite recipe.
That is fantastic Miranda! Thank you so much for letting me know!! I hope you have a beautiful weekend!
So good! Was a big hit. Loved that it opened up the oven!
I’m so glad you liked it. It really can be such a life saver not having to make this in the oven!
