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)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, pineapple juice, honey, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves until well combined. Set aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Pour the prepared glaze evenly over the ham, making sure it seeps into the spiral-cut slices for extra flavor.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once fully cooked, transfer the ham to a serving platter and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Step 7
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.
