Ingredients
– 1 fully cooked bone-in ham (about 5-7 pounds)
– 1 cup brown sugar

– Fresh pineapple slices and maraschino cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your Crockpot Ham with Brown Sugar Pineapple Glaze:
1. Prepare the Ham: Remove the ham from its packaging and score the top in a diamond pattern.
2. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, and cloves until well combined.
3. Add Pineapple: Place the drained pineapple slices inside the crockpot and pour half of the glaze over them.
4. Place the Ham: Position the ham on top of the pineapple slices, cut side down for even cooking.
5. Pour Remaining Glaze: Drizzle the remaining glaze over the ham, making sure to cover as much surface area as possible.
6. Cover and Cook: Set the crockpot to low heat and cover. Cook for 6-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. The ham is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
7. Baste Occasionally: If possible, baste the ham with the glaze every hour for added flavor and moisture.
8. Check Doneness: Ensure that the ham is heated through and beautifully glazed.
9. Serve: Once cooked, remove the ham from the crockpot and allow it to rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve the ham with the glazed pineapples and drippings for a delicious meal.
