SPICY MUSTARD HAM GLAZE (NOT SWEET AT ALL)
I couldn't find a true savory ham glaze, so I made up my own. It turned out so well, I just had to share! I bought a large ham (bone-in of course!) that I wanted to use the left overs, for other yummies later in the week. I don't necessarily like the sweet ham glazes, as it seems to linger with the leftovers. This will be great in scalloped ham and potatoes, ham and beans, omlets, sandwiches.. you name it! Hope you enjoy!! :)

- I put mine in the slow cooker for 8 hours on low, or you could bake, roast, smoke, or grill the ham, depending on your preference. You could also marinate the ham before cooking, but I just didn't think about this until the morning of.

Tips:
- Choosing the right ham: For this recipe, a 4-5 pound bone-in ham is recommended. Look for a ham that is fully cooked and spiral-sliced, as this will make it easier to shred and coat with the sauce.
- Preparing the ham: Before placing the ham in the crock pot, remove any excess fat or skin from the ham. You can also trim the edges of the ham if desired.
- Making the sauce: The sauce for this recipe is a combination of brown sugar, pineapple chunks, crushed pineapple, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and honey. Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
- Cooking the ham: Place the ham in the crock pot and pour the sauce over it. Cover the crock pot and cook the ham on low for 8-10 hours, or until the ham is heated through.
- Shredding the ham: Once the ham is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded ham to the crock pot and stir to coat it with the sauce.
- Serving the ham: Serve the ham immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or roasted vegetables.
