Ideas for ham recipe for potluck?

The company potluck is coming up. I have to be at work at 9 and we eat at noon. I'm supposed to make the ham, but don't want to get up in the middle of the night to put it in the oven. I experimented with a ';crock pot'; ham recipe I foind online, but it turned out stringy like a pot roast and not solid like ham is from the oven. Do you think I could cut the ham into slices and bake it in the oven while I get ready for work? Surely it wouldn't take as long because it wouldn't be a ';whole ham';. Any ideas?Ideas for ham recipe for potluck?

You can buy a cured ham, which is already cooked. It just needs heated through. Take a large roasting pan and pour in a can of dr. pepper. Rub dijon mustard, brown sugar and salt and pepper over the entire ham (coat the ham) Take sliced pinapples and pin them to the ham with whole cloves and toothpick a few cherries in the center of the pinapple rings. It makes a wonderful ham and should only take about an hour :)
This is how I would take your ham to work. Purchase a spiral ham (precut). Cook it per the package instructions. Slice and place in crock pot and put in fridge. Next morning plug it in at work and leave on low or warm and it will be ready for you at lunch. Nice hot sliced ham.
Ham reheats very well. I would cook it the night before.





Then in the morning, slice it and re-heat it in the oven (covered).
It's a little bit more money, but buy a honey baked spiral ham. They take like an hour to heat up and then you can put it in the crock pop to keep it warm.
