Ingredients
- 8 to 10 pound spiral ham
- ¼ cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 (20 oz) can pineapple slices, drained, reserve the juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
- Coat inside of crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. Place ham, cut side down into crockpot.
- Combine melted butter, brown sugar, honey and cloves until a paste forms. Cover ham with brown sugar mixture gently pushing mixture into ham. Add pineapple slices on top of ham, secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Pour reserved pineapple juice over ham.
- Add lid to crockpot if possible, if the lid doesn’t fit, cover tightly with foil. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or until an internal temperature of 145°F is reaches.
- Baste with juice and let ham rest for 10 minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in refrigerator in airtight container
Notes
Add Crispy Edges to Ham
- Heat the broiler on your oven.
- Remove ham from crockpot and place on an oven safe dish or on a large cookie sheet.
- Press additional brown sugar onto the edges of the ham.
- Broil for about a minute or two, watching very closely. You just want the edges to start bubbling and crystallizing the brown sugar!
- Remove from oven and serve immediately!
How to Store Ham
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last for up to a week in there.
How to Reheat Ham
You can just reheat slices of ham in the microwave! If you want, you can also reheat your ham in a baking dish in the oven for 10-15 minutes (or until warmed through), but the microwave should work just fine.
How to Freeze Ham
You can also freeze any leftover ham in an airtight container for a month or so. Be sure to let it thaw in the fridge before reheating!
