Ingredients
Scale
Ham
- 1 8-9 pound ham
Glaze and Seasoning
- 1 20 ounce can crushed pineapple
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Prepare the Ham: Add the ham to the slow cooker and pat it dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure better glaze adherence.
- Add Pineapple: Pour half of the crushed pineapple from the can evenly over the ham, spreading the flavor and moisture.
- Create the Glaze: In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger together until well combined, then spread this mixture evenly over the pineapple-covered ham.
- Reserve Pineapple: Set aside the remaining crushed pineapple to use as a topping when serving the ham, adding an extra burst of fresh pineapple flavor.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook the ham on the low setting of the slow cooker for three hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the ham to become tender.
Notes
- For best results, use a fully cooked ham.
- If your slow cooker is smaller, consider cutting the ham to fit.
- You can baste the ham occasionally with the cooking juices for extra flavor.
- Adjust the cooking time if your ham is larger or smaller to ensure it is heated through and tender.
- The reserved pineapple topping is great served on the side or spooned over slices of ham.
