Queensland Diamond Cove Cook’s Corner – Slow Cooker Holiday Ham 

Queensland cn

Ingredients

• 2 to 7 lb ham boneless or bone-in

• 20 oz sliced pineapple with juice

• ⅓ cup brown sugar

• ½ tsp ground cloves

Instructions

1. Prep: With the ham still in the packaging, place it in the crock pot to see how it fits. You may need to cut it into portions to fit. Unwrap it and either place it whole back in the crockpot or cut it into pieces.

2. Open the can of sliced pineapple and drain the juice into a separate bowl. You will use all the juice so set it aside, do not discard!

3. Add the brown sugar to the bowl of juice and whisk until dissolved. Add the ground cloves and whisk again to combine. Set the juice mixture aside.

4. Arrange the slices of pineapple all over the surface of the ham and in between slices if you pre-sliced it. If you choose to include cherries, place them inside the centre of the pineapples. Then pour the pineapple juice over the entire top of the ham and pineapple slices.

5. Heat the Ham: Place the lid on the crock pot and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. A 7 to 10 lb. ham in the crock pot takes about 4 hours. A bone-in ham will take 5 to 6 hours to fully heat up. If you have a smaller, 2 to 4 lb ham, aim for around 2 hours of cooking time. Serve and enjoy!
