Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pounds bone-in spiral-cut ham
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 8 pieces pineapple rings (canned, with juice)
- 1 cup pineapple juice (reserved from canned pineapple)
- 0.5 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
- 8 pieces maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves until well combined. Set aside.
Place the ham flat side down in the crockpot. If it does not fit, trim a small portion off the bottom to ensure the lid can close securely.
Pour the prepared glaze evenly over the ham, making sure it seeps into the spiral-cut slices for extra flavor.
Arrange the pineapple rings over the ham (use toothpicks to secure them if needed). Optionally, place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring for garnish.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, or until the ham is heated through and tender. Use a baster or spoon to occasionally drizzle the glaze over the ham during cooking to keep it moist.
Once fully cooked, transfer the ham to a serving platter and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with the pineapple and cherries as garnish, and spoon some of the glaze from the crockpot over the sliced ham for extra flavor.
