How Long to Cook a Spiral Ham:

Peach Glazed Spiral Ham Recipe Tips:

• Glaze – If glaze hardens while the ham is cooking, return to heat to warm it through. Make sure to combine the brown sugar with other ingredients until desolved.
• Meat Thermometer – Use a meat thermometer to ensure your ham is heated through.
• Adding Remaining Glaze – After cooking the ham, we like to add more glaze on it and cooki it longer. After adding the glaze cook the ham longer. Cook for about 15 minutes to 20 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 145 degrees.
• Cutting Ham – Spiral hams are usually precut, but you still might need to slice with a sharp knife. Make sure to get as much meat off the bone as possible. But leaving a little meat on the bone is great too.
• Ham Juices – With the delicious ham juices, you can easily make a ham gravy. Mix with a cornstarch slurry over medium heat combine.

Can I Make in the Slow Cooker?
