Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds fully cooked boneless ham
- 20 ounces pineapple slices in juice, canned
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Place the ham in the crock pot. If the ham is too large, carefully trim it to fit, making sure the lid can fully close.
Drain the pineapple slices, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice. Set the juice aside and arrange the pineapple slices over the ham. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, honey, reserved pineapple juice, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves until well combined.
Pour the mixture evenly over the ham and pineapple slices, ensuring the liquid coats the ham.
Scatter the unsalted butter in small pieces around the crock pot to add richness to the sauce.
Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours. Occasionally, baste the ham with the juices from the bottom of the crock pot to enhance the flavor.
Once cooked, transfer the ham and pineapple slices to a serving platter. Let the ham rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the ham and pineapple with the cooked juices drizzled on top or served as a side sauce.
