Crock-Pot Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham

When my husband requested baked ham for our Christmas in August celebration, I knew I wanted to make a tasty version for him, but since I had a huge dinner to make on my own, I wanted to make it as easy as possible. So, as it often does, my Crock-Pot came to the rescue!

You are going to love this brown sugar and pineapple crusted ham. It’s so tender it just falls apart and the best thing- just throw it in the Crock-Pot for six hours and forget about it!

I found this delicious spiral ham at Sam’s Club. 
I have used ham anywhere from 3-7 lbs for this recipe. 
Lay a base of brown sugar on the bottom of the Crock-Pot. 
 
 Place your cooked ham on top of the sugar.
 Pour a can of pineapple tidbits with juice on top of the ham. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
 
 Look at this juicy, sweet ham!

This is going to be a recipe I use for many holidays to come.

    I used your recipe for my writers group holiday party. Thank you! Everyone raved about the ham. I'm going to clear out my freezer and buy a lot of spiral hams when they go on sale after the Holidays. This ham recipe is going to be my main main from now on.

    Hi, Norway calling! Preparing for Christmas, and I bought a raw, brined ham. My American husband likes his ham made with brown sugar and pineapples, so this sounds like the perfect recipe, but never tried making it a crockpot. Would the time be sufficient for a raw ham too, or do I have to add more time? To me, 6hrs sounds like a really looooong time for a pre-cooked one, but then I'm no expert. Wouldn't want t ruin an expensive ham mid Christmas!

    Hi I have a Smithfield hardwood smoked non precooked ham will this recipe work with this ham? I have a lot to cook and this would be wonderful to try I've never done a ham in the crock pot before.

    I tried this last week in preparation for Christmas, I struggled with how salty the ham came out, I felt like the juices ran out and the salt stayed behind, would love any tips to reduce the saltiness of it. We also found the ham to be very dry, I am not sure if my crockpot runs hot or not, but 4 hours was too much. I read on another site that using a Bone In non cut ham yields a less dry ham so I am going to try that.

    Has anyone made gravy from the crockpot leftover liquid? I usually make gravy from the ham pan drippings. I am curious how it turns out using the sugary pineapple and brown sugar liquid?
