SLOW COOKER HAM WITH PINEAPPLE

Slow Cooker Ham with Pineapple image

This ham was a big hit at an Easter party a few years back. I got the recipe and have been making it ever since! It's simple since it only has 3 ingredients, but it's delicious nonetheless! I prefer to leave my ham whole once it's done cooking, but others have said they like to shred the ham into chunks and mix the cooked pineapple with it.

Tips:

Choose the right ham: For this recipe, a bone-in ham is best. It will add more flavor to the dish.
Score the ham: Scoring the ham helps the pineapple glaze to penetrate the meat and flavor it more evenly.
Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple chunks will give the dish the best flavor. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well before using it.
Add some brown sugar: Brown sugar helps to caramelize the pineapple and add a sweet flavor to the dish.
Cook the ham on low: Cooking the ham on low for 8-10 hours will help to make it tender and juicy.
Baste the ham: Basting the ham with the pineapple glaze every hour or so will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
Let the ham rest: After the ham is cooked, let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker ham with pineapple is an easy and delicious dish that is perfect for a holiday meal or a weeknight dinner. The ham is tender and juicy, and the pineapple glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
