- I put the pineapples on basically by started in the middle and worked my way out.
- I used toothpicks to keep the pineapple in place.
- Then I used cloves in the corners of the pineapple as decoration.
- You will want to cover the inside of the crock-pot with foil.
- Put one cup of pineapple juice in the crock-pot
- Place ham inside a 6 quart or larger crock-pot.
- Combine cider, mustard and brown sugar in a small mixing bowl, mix well.
- Spoon over ham.
- Cover and cook on high, first for 30 minutes, and then low for about 6 hours or so.
- You want an internal temperature of 140 with a meat thermometer.
- If your ham is smaller it may get done sooner, if it’s bigger it may take longer.
- I used two forks and carefully poked the forks into the ham to pull it out.
- Combine the ham drippings, cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice in a saucepan.
- With a whisk on high i whisked the sauce until it was well thickened.
- I replaced the foil in the crock-pot.
- Put the Ham back into the crock-pot and carefully spooned the sauce over the ham.
- You may find that you have left over sauce, depending on your size of ham.
- Turn the crock-pot on high for 35-45 minutes until it is a caramelized color and shiny.
- When it’s done, again take your 2 forks to remove from the crock-pot and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Then present at the table before slicing.
- I did remove the toothpicks (which removed the pineapple) before slicing.
I did this with a 3.5 size Ham. If you want to use a larger ham you can. If you want to double the size of the ham, you should get twice of much pineapple rings. And double first part of the glaze (brown sugar, mustard and cider). However I would only put one cup of pineapple juice in the crock-pot still. The ham juices from a larger ham will be more then enough for a larger ham. I had more then enough pineapple juice/cornstarch glaze to cover my 3.5 ham, much was not used…You could probably just add a bit more pineapple juice and get by just fine.

December 29, 2014 at 1:43 AMThe foil helps lift up the ham a bit for the juices to run to, and helps you remove it from the crock.

Lady Sarah says
December 29, 2014 at 1:42 AMPut the foil on the bottom, to help keep it off the bottom of the crock and give the ham juice somewhere to run to.

November 18, 2016 at 10:18 PMWhat if there is a bone in the ham? Can you still do this?
Lady Sarah says
November 19, 2016 at 6:50 AMSure, you’ll just want to make sure you can fit it in your crock, as it can’t easily be slimmed down.

March 21, 2016 at 3:27 PMWhat if the ham is fully cooked already? Does it still take 6 + hrs.?
Lady Heidi says
March 21, 2016 at 4:26 PMYou could probably get away with 3-4 hours if you are just needing to warm the ham through. The meat would probably take at least a couple hours to get warm and then another hour or two to get warm all the way to the middle.
