The time of year is upon us for family gatherings, work events and dinner with friends. This Slow Cooker Orange Marmalade Glazed Ham is a beautiful centerpiece entrée that’s a real crowd pleasure or just a comforting Sunday dinner on a cold day. This ham can even be prepped at home ahead of time and travels easily in the crock-pot to your dinner party destination.

Slow Cooker Orange Marmalade Glazed Ham

Orange Marmalade Glazed Ham is a favorite classic of mine. Cooking the ham in the crock-pot makes this tasty entrée simple to make and so flavorful!

What about the leftovers? Okay, I will admit, leftovers might be the best part of making this gorgeous Slow Cooker Orange Marmalade Glazed Ham with Hatfield’s boneless hams. Cold ham sandwich with gouda cheese, a grilled cheese with cheddar and warmed up ham, diced in a morning omelet or an easy snack paired with crackers.  

 

 

Let’s get slow cooking!

Open your Hatfield’s Classic Boneless Ham using the easy open tab at the top and place into your slow cooker. For this particular recipe, remove the netting before cooking.

Hop over to your food processor. Add the orange marmalade, brown sugar, garlic cloves, honey and zest from an orange. Squeeze the juice from that orange and blend everything together. Pour over the ham and cover the top with aluminum foil. Put the crock-pot lid on and cook on low 4 hours. Half way through cooking, baste the ham once and cover again. I don’t recommend cooking past 4 hours since the Hatfield’s Classic Boneless Ham is pre-cooked so you just want to warm up the product.

Once the ham has finished heating up in the crock-pot, pre-heat the oven to broil and place the ham onto a pan. I just use a baking sheet lined with foil. With the juices left at the bottom of the crock-pot, place on the stove-top with a bit of flour. Whisk until the sauce begins to simmer and thicken. Pour over the ham and broil for 5-10 minutes to get that stunning glaze.

Slow Cooker Orange Marmalade Glazed Ham is now ready to serve and the smell is amazing! If you need to take the dish to-go, simply put it back into the crock-pot to keep warm and head out. Serve as soon as possible and keep in mind the longer you have the ham on the warm setting, the more you risk it drying out.

Ham, Cucumber and Sprout Sandwich with Spicy Mayo

Ham, Cucumber and Sprout Sandwich with Spicy Mayo is what’s on the menu. A monster sized sandwich with hearty bread, thin sliced deli meat, crispy cucumber, fresh sprouts, and a touch of spice stacked high.

Spring is here and I am craving fresh ingredients and cold sandwiches. Now, if  someone could tell Cincinnati that spring has arrived, that would be fantastic. Last week the temperature got up to a whopping 76 degrees and the next day it snowed. I wish I was kidding. This weather is such a teaser but that is alright. Cincinnati may not be ready for spring but I sure am!

 

#SandwichWithTheBest, #ad, Ham, Cucumber and Sprout Sandwich with Spicy Mayo

 

What is the secret to building a perfect sandwich for the spring season ahead? Quality ingredients and simplicity.

During this time of year, sandwiches are basically an everyday lunch item in my household. The Ham, Cucumber and Sprout Sandwich with Spicy Mayo has only 6 ingredients but is not short on flavor. My Walmart grocery list always has Pepperidge Farm® bread, Hillshire Farm® Thin Sliced Honey Ham, Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise, fresh fruits and vegetables as part of my pantry and fridge basics. I added a spicy sriracha today for that extra special touch.

 

#SandwichWithTheBest, #ad, Ham, Cucumber and Sprout Sandwich with Spicy Mayo

 

Pepperidge Farm is a staple in my household and the star of any sandwich. In my opinion, it is all about the freshness of bread due to the double sealed packaging and the hearty wholesome ingredients that make it so delicious. I also really enjoy Pepperidge Farm for my morning toast with a cup of coffee on the side.

 

#SandwichWithTheBest, #ad, Ham, Cucumber and Sprout Sandwich with Spicy Mayo

 

Not all lunch meats are created equal. Hillshire Farm® has no artificial flavors or bi-products and is slow roasted for hours making it taste so much better than other lunch meats. Hillshire Farm® Thin Sliced Honey Ham has a touch of sweetness and double packaged to ensure freshness.

Does anyone else wash and reuse those plastic containers or is it just me?

 

#SandwichWithTheBest, #ad, Ham, Cucumber and Sprout Sandwich with Spicy Mayo

 

To be honest, I am not a big mayonnaise person. My family loves it but I am picky in this department. How I eat my mayonnaise: Using Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise and intensifying the flavor. Today, I intensified the flavor with sriracha which really takes this sandwich to the next level of deliciousness.  I also love the fact that Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise is made with real, simple ingredients including eggs, oil and vinegar. Sometimes, simple is better!

Have you ever tried Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise on the outside of your bread for a crispy grilled sandwich? Hello yumminess! Give it a whirl, you will not be sorry.

 

#SandwichWithTheBest, #ad, Ham, Cucumber and Sprout Sandwich with Spicy Mayo

 

What do you need to put on your next Walmart shopping list to make this hearty, fresh sandwich?

  1. 20 ounce squeezable Hellmann’s® Real Mayonnaise
  2. 9 ounce package Hillshire Farm® Thin Sliced Honey Ham
  3. loaf of Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain Oatmeal bread
  4. sriracha
  5. cucumber
  6. fresh sprouts (I prefer the broccoli sprouts)

Slow Cooker Ham and Bean Soup

Slow Cooker Ham and Bean Soup made with left over ham, beans, carrots, celery, parsnip and onion. This is not your average boring ham and potato soup! This soup has great flavors with the rosemary and thyme, plus a hint of garlic.

 

Slow Cooker Ham and Bean Soup

 

Slow Cooker Ham and Bean Soup is simple to make and cooks in the crock pot all day. Simply wash everything, chop and dump it all in. Whenever we buy a ham, we buy one much larger than what we need so we can make this soup plus have extra for ham sandwiches. This recipe calls for a parsnip which may seem random to some. The parsnip gives a little flavor and bulk to the soup but you can opt out or swap out a parsnip for potatoes.

Slow Cooker Honey Pineapple Holiday Ham

Slow Cooker Honey Pineapple Holiday Ham

Slow Cooker Honey Pineapple Holiday Ham is a must have recipe for holiday parties. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter or any get together is a perfect occasion for Slow Cooker Honey Pineapple Holiday Ham! Occasionally, I even throw this ham in on a Sunday afternoon so to make ham sandwiches for the week’s lunches or a  Slow Cooker Ham and Bean Soup.

This recipe is inspired by my grandmother. My grandmother would always make ham with brown sugar, honey or mustard and pineapple slices. She would cook hers in the oven and I prefer the crockpot, especially if you have a turkey and casseroles going in the oven then there just isn’t much room for a ham. The crockpot also lets you cook the ham on a low temperature for a longer time to ensure the juices are soaking in.

 

Slow Cooker Honey Pineapple Holiday Ham

 

Pick a pre cooked ham that is 8-10 pounds and I prefer to buy with bone in so I can make a soup with the leftovers. A ham over 10 pounds may be difficult to squeeze into your crockpot so keep that in mind. Make sure to buy a spiraled pre sliced ham also so the flavors of the honey, pineapple, and brown sugar can really soak in and give you a really tasty ham.

I always recommend buying locally made honey, especially if you suffer from seasonal allergies. Honey is known to help with pollen sensitivities when consumed on a regular basis. I think this is a controversial topic in regards to honey helping fight against seasonal allergies but I believe it and always buy local. Plus, you are helping support a small business in your community which is always a great idea.

Start with a nice buttery, flaky croissant and add a few slices of black forest ham from the deli counter, a slice of pepper jack cheese, and spread a generous amount of our spicy buffalo honey mustard. Wrap the sandwiches up in foil and set in fridge. On the way out the door, grab a wrapped sandwich and heat up for 45 seconds at lunchtime. The kids take them to school and eat cold. This spicy buffalo honey mustard is amazing! There is a hint of barbeque sauce in the honey mustard and has just a little kick of spicy. So good and this sauce can be used with all sorts of foods… chicken tenders, french fries,  on a salad, in a wrap, you name it.

Before being a stay at home mom, I worked in a hospital. I know that many of you out there can relate to this schedule. 7:30am: start work. 10:00am: break if the stars are in proper alignment and a patient cancelled by chance. 12 noon: lunch. 12:20: actually able to sit down for lunch after catching up on morning work, 12:25: shove food in face because next patient is here but hey maybe it will be your lucky day and you can have a snack break before you leave at 4pm. Anybody relate? This is a perfect lunch time croissant, if you have THAT schedule or any other and ideal for kids lunch boxes.  You can eat this sandwich cold or remove from foil and heat in the microwave for 45 seconds. Preparation is really easy and I make 8 on Sunday night and set into fridge for everyone to grab in the mornings through the week.
