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!

Blackberry jam is delicious with the ham but you could also try cherry preserves and apricot jam.

If your ham is too tall for the Crock-Pot lid to fit, no problem!

This looks soo yummy! I love anything in a crockpot! Going to pin this for later! Thanks for sharing!
YUM! This looks so good – and just in time for Easter!
This looks so good! Perfect for Easter!
Oh my gosh! This sounds amazing!
I made one modification to this. Instead of the maple syrup, I used blackberry ginger ale (made by Canada Dry). Made for a regular night meal and everyone loved it! I just started the ham for Thanksgiving and again am experimenting…this time using cherry preserves with Cherry 7up. I did add sliced pineapple and added the pineapple juice to the preserves after I heated it. Peach next? Time will tell….
