Crock Pot Brown Sugar Ham Food

CROCK-POT BROWN SUGAR PICNIC HAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Add 3/4 cup of the pineapple juice to the bottom of a 6 quart or larger slow cooker.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar to the pineapple juice and mix until all the brown sugar is moistened.
• With the fat side down, place the ham inside the slow cooker.
• Using a sharp knife, score the ham about 1/4 inch deep all over the top of the ham.
• Pour 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice carefully over the top of the ham to moisten the ham.
• Rub the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar into the top of the ham.
• Poke the whole cloves into the cross sections of the scoring lines.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, basting the ham 2 to 3 times with the liquid in the slow cooker.
• Cook the ham until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 145° on an instant read meat thermometer.
• Carefully remove ham from the slow cooker and place it on a platter. Tent the ham loosely with foil and allow the ham to rest 10 to 15 minutes before slicing the ham.
• Remove cloves before eating and enjoy! (See **Sauce/Gravy Note below if you would like to make a sauce or gravy to serve with your ham)

SLOW COOKER HAM

Steps:

• Spread about 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar on the bottom of the slow cooker crock. Place the ham flat side down into the slow cooker - you might have to trim it a little to make it fit. Use your hands to rub the remaining brown sugar onto the ham. Cover, and cook on Low for 8 hours.

CROCK POT COLA HAM

Steps:

• Remove ham from packaging.
• Lightly score ham in diagonal lines first one way, then crosswise, to form a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut any deeper than about a eighth of an inch. (You can score both sides if you like).
• Make a paste of brown sugar and mustard (I used Boar's Head Honey Mustard).
• Rub paste into ham on sides that have been lightly scored.
• Transfer to crock pot.
• Pour in two cans of coca cola into bottom of pot, not pouring directly over ham to wash away brown sugar paste.
• Cook on low 7-8 hours.
