Ingredients
– 1 fully cooked ham (about 5-7 pounds)

Instructions
Creating this incredible dish is straightforward. Follow these steps to make your own Crockpot Ham with Brown Sugar Pineapple Glaze:
1. Prepare the Ham: Unwrap the fully cooked ham and place it into the crockpot, flat side down.
2. Make the Glaze: In a bowl, mix brown sugar, pineapple juice, crushed pineapple, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper until well combined.
3. Apply the Glaze: Pour the glaze evenly over the ham, making sure to cover it thoroughly.
4. Cover and Cook: Secure the lid on the crockpot, setting it on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. This slow cooking ensures the flavors penetrate the meat.
5. Baste Occasionally: If possible, baste the ham with the glaze once or twice during cooking for added flavor.
6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check if the ham has reached an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
7. Remove from Crockpot: When fully cooked, carefully remove the ham from the crockpot and place it on a serving platter.
8. Strain the Juices: Optionally, strain the remaining glaze to remove any solids and serve as a sauce alongside the ham.
9. Garnish: For a polished presentation, stud the ham with whole cloves or simply slice and serve.
10. Serve: Allow the ham to rest for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy with your favorite sides.
These simple steps will ensure your Crockpot Ham with Brown Sugar Pineapple Glaze turns out delicious every time!
