Slow Cooker Holiday Ham
Crock Pot Ham is my favorite holiday ham recipe! Just 4 ingredients and can be made in the crockpot or Instant Pot. Brown sugar and pineapple provide a sweet, tangy flavor to the ham. Quick & easy ham recipe that takes just minutes to prepare and yields tender, flavorful and juicy ham. See the recipe for Slow Cooker Holiday Ham here.
Crock Pot Holiday Ham
Ingredients
- 2-7 lb ham boneless or bone-in
- 20 oz sliced pineapple with juice
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ½ tsp ground cloves
Instructions
How to cook your ham in the Crock Pot
- First, while your ham is still in the packaging, place it in the crock pot to see how it fits. You may need to cut it into portions to fit it in the crockpot. Then, unwrap it and either place it whole back in the crockpot or cut it into pieces to fit in the crockpot. You can also choose to pre-slice it if you would like.
- Next, open the can of sliced pineapple and drain the juice out into a separate bowl. You will use all of the juice so set it aside, do not discard!
- Then, measure out the 1/3 cup of brown sugar and add it to the bowl with the pineapple juice, whisking to dissolve.
- After that, add in the 1/2 tsp of ground cloves and whisk to combine. Set juice mixture aside.
- Now, arrange the slices of pineapple all over the surface of your ham and in between slices if you pre-sliced the ham.
- If you chose to included cherries, place them inside the center of the pineapples.
- Lastly, pour the pineapple juice mixture over the entire top of the ham and pineapple slices.
- Now, place the lid on the crock pot and cook on LOW for 3-4 hours.
