Need a simple but DELICIOUS ham recipe for Christmas or Easter but think it will involve too much of your time watching the oven and testing for doneness?
Try this CROCK POT recipe that I found at this wonderful crock pot recipe site.
If you find yourself hosting a large family dinner in your home, this is a perfect recipe that will need no tending to- once it has started the slow cooking.
And it extremely moist. NO MORE DRY HAM!
Only a few ingredients:
7-8 pound bone-in spiral-cut ham
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup all natural maple syrup
2 cups pineapple juice
The Directions.
Use a 6-7 quart slow cooker. Unwrap the ham, and discard flavor packet. Place it into your stoneware, flat-side down. Rub brown sugar on all sides. Pour on maple syrup and pineapple juice. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. If possible, baste ham with collected juice from the bottom of the crock an hour or so before serving. When cooking is done, remove carefully and let it rest on a cutting board for 15-20 minutes before carving.
Now, how easy is that?
And your house will smell DIVINE!
Gosh this sounds good. Love all the ingredients in this so I know it would be a winner. My oven is so busy on the holidays that to have a delicious alternative like this is a godsend. Thank you for sharing!
