Friday Fun: Crock Pot Ham

One of the thing I wanted in the Arkansas test kitchen this year was an additional crock pot. I mean... can you have too many? 

A Christmas miracle happened this year, and one of my brothers purchased me a new digital Westinghouse Crock Pot. I barely had the crock pot out of the box and was already thinking about new recipes to try. 

The first recipe I chose was Crock Pot Ham. Ham was on sale, and who doesn't enjoy a good ham supper?! It would have been great to get this recipe in time for the holidays, but we made due. And besides, do you ever need an excuse to eat ham? Nope!

Crock Pot Ham

1 3 - 5 lb. bone-in fully cooked ham
3 cups brown sugar
1 12 oz. can pineapple tidbits with juices.



Remove most of the excess fat from the ham.
Score ham in a diamond pattern (just score lightly- do not cut too deeply).
If you purchased a spiral cut ham, ignore this step. 
Place one cup of brown sugar on the bottom of the crock pot.
Place ham on top of the brown sugar.
Pour in pineapple and juices.
Coat ham with remaining brown sugar.
Cook ham on low for 6 - 8 hours.




When finished cooking, the ham will fall off the bone, and you'll have sweet, salty, meaty goodness that you can't go wrong with.



Once you're done with the ham, save the bone for a Split Pea or Bean Soup. This tasty ham recipe is the perfect thing to make during the football playoffs, and you'll have plenty for lunches this week. Win/Win... which may be better than your football team did this season! 

Stay Cool,
