Crock Pot Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham

 

You know those recipes that make you look like you’ve been slaving away in the kitchen for hours, but in reality, you’ve barely lifted a finger? This Crock Pot Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham is one of those magic dishes. I made it last Easter when I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the sides I needed to prepare, and let me tell you – it was a lifesaver. The house smelled amazing, my guests thought I’d put in way more effort than I did, and I got to spend time catching up with family instead of fretting over the stove. It’s the kind of recipe that makes you feel like a kitchen hero without any of the stress.

If you’re looking for a dish that’s easy, impressive, and downright delicious, this is it. There’s something about the sweetness from the brown sugar and pineapple mixing with the savory, salty ham that just makes you want to do a little happy dance. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love the convenience of a slow cooker? It’s like having a sous chef who takes care of all the heavy lifting while you sit back with a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine, no judgment here).

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

What makes this recipe a true winner is how it transforms an ordinary ham into something extraordinary. The slow cooker works its magic, bathing the ham in a sweet, tangy glaze that seeps into every nook and cranny. You get this wonderfully tender, melt-in-your-mouth ham that tastes like you spent hours basting and babying it – but really, you were probably binge-watching your favorite show or catching up with a friend.

Equipment You’ll Need

• Slow cooker (big enough to fit your ham)
• A sharp knife (to trim the ham if it’s a little too ambitious in size)
• Measuring cups and spoons (no guessing here, folks!)
• Basting brush (if you’re feeling fancy)
• Small saucepan (if you’re going for that extra glaze action)

Ingredients

• 1 bone-in spiral cut ham (5-7 pounds, depending on your crock pot size)
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple tidbits or chunks in juice (juice included – don’t drain!)
• 1/2 cup honey (optional but trust me, you’ll want it)
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves (optional if you’re feeling a bit fancy and want a touch of spice)
