Notes

Recipe Tips.

If the honey-glazed ham is the main dish, plan on ⅓ to ½ pound per person. If you want some leftovers, add another pound or two to the total.
Keep in mind the size of your slow cooker. A 6-8 quart slow cooker can usually fit a 6-7 pound ham.
Use leftover ham in breakfast, lunch, or dinner: Frittata, Eggs Benedict Casserole, Ham Salad Recipe, Monte Cristo Sliders Recipe, Ham and Bean Soup, or Mac and Cheese with Ham.
Oven. Preheat your oven to 325°F and follow the same glazing instructions. Place the ham in a roasting pan and bake for about 15 minutes per pound, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.

Store ham ahead of time. Keep a wrapped spiral cut ham in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or in the freezer for 1-2 months before cooking it. Plan for it to take 4-6 hours per pound to thaw in the fridge.

Store leftover ham in an airtight container(s) in the fridge for 4-5 days or freezer for 2-3 months.

Reheat. Quickly reheat ham in the microwave, but the best way to get a moist reheated ham is to use a roasting pan in the oven.

Preheat oven to 325°F. Fill the bottom pan with water and place the roasting rack on top. Place ham on top of the rack and cover the entire pan with aluminum foil. The steam from the water underneath will keep the ham moist while reheating it. Bake until warm throughout.
