SLOW COOKER SOUTHERN LIMA BEANS AND HAM
I searched your website for the simple lima bean recipe that my mom used to make and the one that is served by many restaurants here in the south as a side dish. I couldn't find one, so I submitted my own. This is an easy, basic lima bean dish with ham, onion, and seasonings. Served over Mexican cornbread, it makes a delicious hearty meal. You can also do this on the stovetop. Just follow the directions on the back of the lima bean bag and add the seasonings. Slow cooker time is about 7 hours. Add a side salad for a complete meal.

SLOW-COOKER HAM AND BLACK-EYED PEA SOUP
This recipe is proof that soup is a perfect food to slow cook. The low and slow cooking softens up the ham hock and infuses the black-eyed peas with loads of flavor, without turning them to mush. And after it's finished its flavoring duties, that ham hock still has more to give your soup. The meat that's clinging to the hock gets chopped into bits and added back in for a toothsome texture and heartiness that'll satisfy the whole family. So next time you need a set-it-and-forget-it family dinner, you know what to do.

SLOW COOKER HAM WITH PINEAPPLE
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.

Steps:
- Press whole cloves into the ham so they are evenly distributed. You may score the ham for easier insertion if you wish. Place the ham in a slow cooker. Pour in apple cider until only about 2 inches of ham is above the surface. Pack the brown sugar on top of the ham, pressing into the cloves. This will get washed away in the next step but any that stays on is a bonus.
- Pour the maple syrup over the ham. Season the apple cider with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, ground cloves and vanilla. Add the orange peel to the pot. Fill the slow cooker as full as you can with apple cider without going over the fill line. Cover and set to Low. Cook for 8 to 10 hours.

Steps:
- Trim thick skin (rind), and fat off ham.
- Spread about 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar on the bottom off the slow cooker crock.
- Place the ham flat side down into slow cooker. Rub remaining brown sugar onto top of ham.
- Cover, and cook on Low for 6-8 hours.
Tips:
- Choose the right ham. A bone-in ham will be more flavorful than a boneless ham, but it will also take longer to cook. If you're short on time, you can use a boneless ham.
- Prepare the ham. Before cooking, remove the ham from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about an hour. This will help the ham cook evenly.
- Score the ham. Scoring the ham will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a crispy crust. To score the ham, use a sharp knife to make shallow cuts in the ham, about 1 inch apart.
- Choose the right glaze. There are many different glazes that you can use to flavor your ham. Some popular glazes include brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, and pineapple juice. You can also experiment with different spices and herbs to create your own unique glaze.
- Cook the ham. The cooking time for a ham will vary depending on the size of the ham and the type of cooker you're using. In general, you should cook a ham for about 10 minutes per pound. If you're using a slow cooker, you can cook the ham on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker ham is a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ham turns out perfect every time. Whether you choose a bone-in or boneless ham, a sweet or savory glaze, you'll be sure to enjoy this classic dish.
