Let's go over the ingredients you'll need. A bone-in spiral cut ham, brown sugar, a can of pineapple tidbits or chunks in juice
honey for extra sweetness, and ground cloves for added spice. First, prepare your Crock-Pot
Line it with a liner or lightly grease it to make clean-up easier. Place the ham cut side down in the Crock-Pot
Sprinkle about half a cup of brown sugar over the bottom, then place the ham on top
Pour the entire can of pineapple tidbits or chunks, including the juice, over the ham
If you're using honey, drizzle it over the top. Sprinkle the remaining half cup of brown sugar over the pineapple and ham
For an extra kick, you can add ground cloves. Cover and cook on low for four to six hours, or until the ham is heated through and tender
Remember, avoid lifting the lid too often to check on the ham
as this can release heat and increase cooking time. During the last hour of cooking, baste the ham with the juices collected at the bottom of the Crock-Pot
If your slow cooker has a warm setting, you can switch to it once the ham is fully heated
and let it sit until ready to serve, basting occasionally. Carefully remove the ham from the Crock-Pot to a serving platter
Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Meanwhile, you can reduce the cooking juices in a saucepan over medium-high heat
to make a thicker glaze if desired. Pour some of the glaze over the ham before serving, and serve the rest on the side
And there you have it, Crock-Pot brown sugar pineapple ham. A succulent, sweet and savoury delight that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy
