Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 - 8 pounds bone-in ham (fully cooked) Ensure it's fully cooked for best results.
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple rings Optional, for garnishing.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon Optional.
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves Optional.
  • to taste Fresh parsley For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing the fully cooked ham in the crockpot. If it’s too large, you can slice it down to fit comfortably.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, and any optional spices such as cinnamon and ground cloves until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Pour the glaze over the ham, making sure it’s evenly covered. If you’re using pineapple rings, you can layer them on top of the ham for added flavor and presentation.
Cooking
  1. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until heated through. Alternatively, cook on high for about 3-4 hours if preferred.
Serving
  1. Once cooked, take the ham out carefully. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Drizzle with any remaining glaze and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, toss in additional ingredients like sliced apples or cranberries. Ensure proper cooking time for best texture and flavor. Store leftovers tightly wrapped or in an airtight container; can last up to 5 days in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer. Reheat slices in the oven or microwave with some pineapple juice to maintain moisture.
