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 created these delicious Leftover Holiday Ham Baked Sliders with my leftovers from Christmas dinner including this Crock-Pot Ham, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce.

This is going to be a recipe I use for many holidays to come.
Does it have to cook for 6 hours? Making this for thanksgiving and we are traveling so wanted to see if it can be cooked for a shorter time? Made this last year and it was SO good!
I'm all about my crock-pot this time of year!

what if you have a raw ham, its not pre cooked
Just discovered your post and immediately followed your awesome site💕tysm for such an easy beautiful ham recipe! I no longer have a crock pot. Had to get rid of when I received my Insta pot is it possible for you to re-post directions for the Insta pot? Thank you so much again
I made this for my sons wedding and it came out beautifully. It was gone before we knew it. I guess we should’ve made two of them.
larger hams do not fit in a 6qt crockpot this recipe is for smaller hams
Hi there. I have 3 Crock-pots and a boneless ham does fit in them. If it does not, then add tinfoil tented on top.
I have done this recipe for 3 Christmas dinners and I love it , but what if I have an uncooked ham?
Hi Venessa,
So glad you love this recipe! Most hams I have seen are precooked. If you use an uncooked ham I would had a few more hours and check the doneness.
I bought a 7.05lb smoked ham thats fully cooked for some odd reasons the supermarkets I went to did not have pre-cooked. Is it still ok to slow cook it for 6 hours? I am making this tonight. Merry Christmas!
Yes, if it is smoked it is cooked! It will be fine in the Crock-Pot! Merry Christmas
I have made this recipe for the past 3 yrs now – Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas and it always disappears faster than the turkey my sister insists on lol. My nephew in law says this is the ONLY way he will eat ham anymore – I think that is a great review on this recipe too. In the past I have had trouble fitting the ham in my 6 QT slow cooker and out of desparation I put it in a roasting pan covered with 2 layers of heavy duty aluminum foil and popped it in the oven at like 275 F for the same amount of time and it came out beautiully too. The recipe is extremely easy to follow if anyone takes the time to read it through, and they will end up with a very juicy delicious ham when they’re done! As a side note I have cut down on the amount of brown sugar by about half lately and it still comes out lovely.
Thanks for the wonderful review! Happy Easter!
Do I put the ham face down in the Crock-Pot or sideways like in your video?
Anyway it will fit! I have done both ways and it turned out great.
Does the ham go face down in the Crock-Pot like the picture shows or sideways like in your video. I don’t want to mess this up seeing it will be my first time preparing it. Thanks and have a nice Easter
I have purchased 4 very thick slices of cooked honey ham can I cook this in the crockpot with the pineapple, & brown sugar etc on low for 2 to 4 hours or would it dry out???
I think it would work just fine. The ham, pineapple, and sugar make plenty of juice so mine never dries out. I would cut the time in half since you are just reheating.
Thanks
This ham is DELICIOUS! It will be the only ham recipe I use especially for the holidays. This recipe is so “fix it and forget it” that you have plenty of time to work on other dishes for your holiday meal! Love it!
wow nice addition of pineapple, looks like it will be fresh food in summer
wow nice addition of pineapple, looks like it will be fresh food in summer time
thanks for the recipe, this ham dish is one of my favorites after trying your recipe.
I made this for my sons wedding and it came out beautifully.
can i change the ham with another vege-meat ? i think this recipe is really great!
Sure! I have never tried it but I bet it would be delicious!
Can I change sugar with kurma?
I have never tried kurma but since it is a gravy I think it would work. Let me know how it turns out!
Hi, I’ve made this ham twice and it was a hit. For some odd reason last year and this year I am having a hard time finding a pre cooked. If I buy fully cooked, will that be fine? Should I cook it same amount of time or for less since it’s fully cooked?
Yes, I used a cooked ham and it just warms it and adds the nice glaze in the slow cooker. Try a couple hours and add more time if needed.
Do you think I could do this in a roaster and if so what temp would you recc and duration I have a 10.5# ham
Sure. Since the ham is precooked and boneless you just want to warm it with the glaze. I prefer the slowcooker so you can pour the sugar and pineapple on top but a roaster would warm it well. Probably low around 325-350 for a couple hours.
This is my go to ham. I have made it for the past four years exactly like the recipe states, and it’s a family hit !
