Ingredients
  

  • 8 lbs spiral cut bone-in smoked ham
  • 2 cups pineapple juice
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)
  • fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Pour pineapple juice into a 6-quart oval crockpot and place ham cut-side down into the liquid.
  • In a bowl, combine brown sugar, mustard, vinegar and honey. Slather mixture evenly over ham surface.
  • Cook on low setting for 4-6 hours until the thermometer inserted into the thickest part reaches 140°F.
  • Transfer ham to a platter, tent with foil and let rest 15 minutes.
  • Pour cooking liquid into a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in slurry and simmer for 2 minutes until thick glaze forms.
  • Spoon glaze over ham, garnish with fresh herbs if desired and serve.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, baste ham with pan juices every hour.
  • Allow 15-30 minutes of resting time before carving for juicier results.
  • Refrigerate leftovers 3-4 days or freeze ham pieces for later use in fried rice, soups, sandwiches and more!
