Crock Pot Sweet Savory Ham Food

SPIRAL HAM IN CROCKPOT WITH NO SUGAR HAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the crockpot on low heat
• Remove the ham from the packaging and put the ham into the crockpot. Slightly separate the ham slices for the ham glaze. Put the lid on the crockpot until the sauce is ready.
• Melt the butter on medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of your sweetener of choice (Swerve, honey, brown sugar, or erythritol), bring it to a slow simmer, where it's just starting to bubble. This will take about 2-3 minutes.
• Add the apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, cloves, salt, and cinnamon.
• Simmer all ingredients on medium-low for 5+ minutes until it's slightly thickened. If it starts to bubble up, turn down the heat to low. Periodically stir the glaze to keep it from sticking.
• Pour the sugar free ham glaze over the ham and cook covered for 4-5 hours, or until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 180F.
• After putting the ham on a serving platter, drizzle the ham pan drippings over the top.
• Serves 12-14 people.

CROCK POT SWEET & SAVORY HAM

Steps:

• Place ham in a 7 to 8 quart slow cooker.
• In a small bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, apricot preserves and mustard. Pour over ham. Cover ham and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours or until a thermometer reads 140 degrees. **Make sure to take the temperature from the thickest part of the ham.
• Remove ham from slow cooker and spoon over juices from bottom of pot. Slice or remove slices and serve.

CROCK POT SWEET AND SOUR HAM

Steps:

• I used a 7 qt crock pot and fed 9 people with about 4 cups leftover.
• You might want to half the recipe.
• Combine all ingredients including pineapple juice, but NOT the pineapple or cornstarch yet.
• Cook on low 5 hours.
• Add cornstarch - ( all if very liquid ) and the pineapple.
• Cook for an additional 1 or 2 hours. I "cooked" for 6 hour total, but after all cooking was done I had it on warm for another 2 hours. I started way too early and misjudged how long it would take to cook.
• The ham made a kind of smoky tasting sweet and sour sauce, but it was good. I served it with rice on a busy school night and except for one teenage dweeb who eats nothing but hamburgers, they all liked it.

SWEET SLOW COOKER HAM

Steps:

• Spread about 3/4 of the brown sugar into the bottom of the crock of your slow cooker to cover completely. Place ham atop the brown sugar with the flat side facing down. Pour pineapple over the ham. Rub remaining brown sugar over the ham. Pour chai tea latte concentrate over the ham.
• Place cover on the slow cooker and cook on Low until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the ham reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 5 1/2 hours. Baste ham once or twice with juices while cooking.

SPICY MUSTARD HAM GLAZE (NOT SWEET AT ALL)

Steps:

• 1. In a small bowl, wisk all ingredients together.
• 2. Pat ham dry with papertowel.
• 3. Schmear all over ham.
• I put mine in the slow cooker for 8 hours on low, or you could bake, roast, smoke, or grill the ham, depending on your preference. You could also marinate the ham before cooking, but I just didn't think about this until the morning of.
• I made a double batch of this to use as a dipping sauce as well. Delish!
