Boy, do I have something tasty to share with ya’ll today!
My #1 recipe on this blog is my Crock-Pot Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham and it has been my go to recipe for holiday meals for years. But this year for Easter, I decided to try something different with my spiral ham in the Crock-Pot. I have been using fruit spreads in my sauces and recipes a lot lately so I made a glaze with blackberry jam and maple syrup for topping my ham.
Perfectly cooked in just a few hours in the Crock-Pot, this Blackberry Ham is so good it may just be my new signature holiday ham!

I used a bone in, spiral cut ham that was 11.5lbs.
Blackberry jam is delicious with the ham but you could also try cherry preserves and apricot jam.
