Notes
- For Crispy Edges: To get crispy brown sugar edges on your ham like you would if it has been baked in the oven:
- Heat the broiler on your oven.
- Remove ham from crockpot and place on an oven safe dish or on a large cookie sheet.
- Press additional brown sugar onto the edges of the ham.
- Broil for about a minute or two, watching very closely. You just want the edges to start bubbling and crystallizing the brown sugar!
- Remove from oven and serve immediately!
- To Store. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last for up to a week in there.
- To Reheat. You can just reheat slices of ham in the microwave! If you want, you can also reheat your ham in a baking dish in the oven for 10-15 minutes (or until warmed through), but the microwave should work just fine.
- To Freeze. You can also freeze any leftover ham in an airtight container for a month or so. Be sure to let it thaw in the fridge before reheating!To Store. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last for up to a week in there.
