Crockpot Ham with Beer and Chutney Glaze – Secret Recipe Club
Have you heard of the Secret Recipe Club yet? Bloggers sign up to participate and then are randomly assigned to another blogger. You make something from that blog and everyone posts on the same day at the same time. It’s a great opportunity to check out a new blog and try a new recipe.
I was assigned This Mama Cooks. I was excited to be assigned to a blog I had never seen before. I looked through the blog and had some ideas about what to make but then the month started slipping away from me. With vacation, recovery from vacation, and some other stuff going on, here I was only a couple days from the posting date and I still hadn’t made anything from This Mama Cooks yet. I narrowed it down to a couple recipes and let Hubby choose.
I was secretly hoping that he’d pick the ham for a couple reasons. For one, we were on vacation for Easter and didn’t get to have a traditional ham dinner, so I’ve been thinking about making a ham for a couple weeks. For two, it was something that I could make without a whole lot of fuss. And for three, it’s something that will feed us all week (I love ham sandwiches!)
This recipe couldn’t be any simpler and I loved the idea of making your own sauce for the ham instead of using the package of goo that comes with the ham. I let this guy cook on Saturday while Hubby and I were taking care of some chores around the house. We had a mini Easter dinner Saturday night and we both enjoyed this ham.
I enjoyed participating in Secret Recipe Club. Definitely check it out if you’re interested in participating next month. Who knows, maybe I’ll be making one of you recipes next!

Crockpot Ham with Beer and Chutney Glaze
Yield: 8
Ingredients:
One 5 to 6 pound fully cooked, spiral cut ham
1 jar mango chutney
3 tablespoons spicy or Dijon-style mustard
24 ounces of beer
Directions:
Trim off any excess fat. Place ham on a metal roasting rack or trivet in a 5-quart or larger crock pot or slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Remove tongs and metal rack from your slow cooker.
Pour off and discard pan juice.
Return ham to crock pot. If cooking on LOW, change setting to HIGH.
Place chutney in a small bowl. Stir in mustard and beer.
Pour chutney and beer mixture over ham into the crock pot. Cover and continue to cook for 30 minutes, basting every 5 minutes with the chutney and beer mixture.
Transfer ham to a warm carving platter or a cutting board. Cover with foil and keep warm with a clean dish towel. Let stand for 15 minutes before uncovering and slicing.
Spoon chutney and beer mixture over ham when serving.

I am obsessed with your crockpot chicken tacos and am sure this is going to be another favorite crockpot chicken recipe in our house!
P.S. I had a cake craving last night and jumped on your blog to look up cupcake recipes… you have 101 cupcake recipes?!!

Yea… about those cupcakes. I went through a phase at the beginning of my blog. And I’ve been blogging 3.5 years, so that’s really only about 30/year…
I think I would LOVE this recipe! Bret loves pulled chicken and I love slow cooker recipes!
Yum, my husband would totally love this!!
Sounds delicious and perfect for leaving in the pot before work and coming home to wonderfully cooked chicken. Can’t wait to try it!
I love this kind of stuff. We had beef dip sandwiches last night. SO GOOD. I bet we’ve love this too!
Sounds delicious, but I’m sure I’d have to just add one of those chiles 🙂
Yay! I love Pulled chicken sandwiches, I’m so glad you shared this recipe.
Nothing bad about pulled chicken. Nothing. Love all the flavors that the chicken was simmering in. Bet this was awesome!
This is the first time I’ve seen someone else use an Eating Well recipe! I like. 🙂 Also, this chicken looks fabulous and easy….nice work.
These look awesome and so easy to make! I love spicy pulled chicken and I love anything that you can just throw in the crockpot. Can’t wait to try them!
My husband and I made this last night for dinner and it was absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Has anyone tried freezing this? I dont eat meat, but I am thinking about making this for my husband but there is no way he could eat a whole pot to himself.

Like most crockpot meals, this meat freezes just fine. I like to portion it out into individual sized portions prior to freezing so you can just grab one and go.
Hi! I made this last year and it was a huge hit. I want to make it again for a holiday pot luck, but when I looked at the recipe today, it seemed to have the directions listed twice, and no ingredient amounts. I was able to find the recipe at eating Well, but wanted to let you know that there may be something wrong here.

Thanks for the update. I am fixing the post now. Glad this recipe was a success for you!
love Pulled chicken sandwiches,
